Slow FastKeys text expander and solution?

I am wondering if there is any way to use the text expander 'Use Clipboard' option and still keeping cursor position on the expanded text? My text expander takes a good 10 seconds to run using the normal method, when I switch it to the use clipboard option it fixes the problem but it doesn't obey cursor position. I am wondering if I am doing something wrong or if there is a trick to get cursor position working with the use clipboard option?

Unfortunately the cursor position feature is not available with the clipboard method.

My question is why? Seems like it would be an easy option to add to the program. Couple lines of code for checking if values inside the pasted text has cursor in it. Just seems silly to me that this isn't an option and it's really the only thing keeping me from using FastKeys. I just can't seem to handle the slow typing. At the speed I'm working with I might as well just type it out myself....

Thanks, we’ll see if this could be implemented in one of the next releases.
