Looking for an Autotyper
One that can repeat keystrokes quickly. To be specific: left, right, left, right, and so on, very quickly, perhaps by holding down a key or pressing once to start the loop. One that isn't overly complicated such as AutoHotKey, I tried it, couldn't figure it out as I'm not a software programmer >.>

AutoHotkey would be the best program to use for something like this. Here's some sample code:

F1::

Loop, 100
{
Send {Left}
Send {Right}
}
Return

When you press the F1 function key it would hit the left arrow then right arrow 100 times. You could tweak it to fit your needs.

This works great, however can you add to your example how I can make it loop slower?

F1::

Loop, 100
{
Send, {Left}
Sleep, 100
Send, {Right}
Sleep, 100
}
Return

Sleep, 100 is in milliseconds so it would be 0.1 sec. You'll probably have to adjust that value.




Here's another example where you hit F1 to start the script and hit F2 to stop it:

F1::

Stop := 0

Loop
{
Send, {Left}
Sleep, 100
Send, {Right}
Sleep, 100
If Stop = 1
Break
}
Return

F2::
Stop := 1
Return
