+Why a KeyDelay for Slack? Because Slack has dogshit slow garbage performance.
+
+If i use normal hotstring replacement for text which has any markup (italic, bold, inline code, etc.), Slack trashes everything ahk types and also losses characters.
+Instead, I have to use SendEvent, which respects key delay.
+
+I swear to fucking god, all the JavaScript world is pure fucking garbage.
