it turns out it's tied to the physical keyboard's auto-repeat feature, and is interrupted by other keypresses
i used this instead:

SetKeyDelay -1
t=
Space Up::t=
Space::
t=1
While t {
Send % " "
Sleep 250
}
Return

it's basically just the toggle method but without the threading problem

ok, i've just checked, it still works when the input isn't in the output

Space::
Send hello
Sleep 250
Return

this would probably be a bad thing if i wasn't trying to make a loop anyway

*Space::
Send {Space}
Sleep 250
Return

works for me (holding space presses it exactly 4 times per second), no need for a loop, i guess my keyboard works weird?
