That's brilliant! Just tried it and it got me thinking: How cool would it be to add additional time after certain [sets of] characters. So, for example. (in layman's JS): if visibleCharacters == ". " or "! " or "? " then add 0.3 seconds to the gap between that and the next character else if visibleCharacters == ", " then 0.15 seconds to the gap between that and the next character else carry on as normal What do you think?

can i make it so that the cursor doesnt disappear? and can i than make it to look like using backspace? so that i have animation of writing and then removing the text

[@MasdLab]

Hey! Yes, I can make an adjustment to the expression and make it not disappear! I’m out of home at the moment. So won’t be able to do it now! But I’ll make a version of of it! :)
