Instant Text
by Jatopian​

Introduction
This plugin lets you offer the player the option to have message window text appear instantly, instead of one character at a time. If the player does not want this functionality, it can be disabled and text will appear normally.

Features
+ The player has the option to toggle the instant text behavior in the Options menu.
+ The developer can make the default setting for this ON or OFF.
+ Costs you nothing to add to your project, and will make quick readers happy.

How to Use
Should be straightforward plug&play. I'm not aware of any bugs or compatibility issues.

Terms of Use
* Free for commercial and non-commercial use.
* Please give credit in a trivially accessible place.
* OK to modify, but if you redistribute the modified version, please make clear that you modified it, and how.
* If you add features that could be useful to others, please at least consider sharing them with me and the community.

Thanks for checking out my plugin; I hope you find it useful.

@Jatopian: Looks handy! My only suggestion is to add your terms of use to your initial post. I see it is in the plug-in, but sometimes people prefer to see it on the initial page as well. That way someone doesn't pass it by due to wondering if they can use it at all.

@bgillisp Ah, thanks. I knew I was forgetting something.
