If you ever think "an actual human couldn't possibly click that fast", you are wrong. Debounce your critical actions.

It doesn't matter if a human can't, some idiot is going to open an autoclicker at 1000cps and break it

I promise you I have done exactly that, i had an auto clicker bound to my space bar and was to lazy to click and would just hold the space bar down when I knew that I was going to click a bunch of gui buttons.(which I though wouldnt be problem) Quickly learned some programs don't like it at all. Lol

Love the extra work you went through in order to not have to click the mouse button. :p

Humans are wild.

I didn't have to work on it for just to not click through ui menus, I just had my autoclicker enabled from some reason(likely game) and just randomly thought, "I'll use the autoclick, lol" and had some interesting stuff happen. It was entertaining and nothing about being practical.

What would you do when you needed to type a space?

I would turn off the auto clicker, I just had it on randomly
