Reconsider awaiting on sleep on pressKey/releaseKey when autoDelayMs == 0 Β #409

Description

@phckopper

Short overview

When calling pressKey/releaseKey, the sleep function is awaited no matter the delay set in autoDelayMs. However, due to the way sleep is implemented, using a setTimeout, a non-negligible delay is introduced nonetheless, and there are no guarantees on its upper bound.

Therefore, I propose that a special case is added to handle a delay of 0, so that applications that require low latency can run as fast as possible.

Use case

  • Low-latency applications
  • Interactive experiences
  • Video-game automation
