The case is like this:
I am using photoshop and intended to assign single key to an action
for example: 8:send {m}

however, when i do this, what i type out will run, mother--->8other

Is there any function that can stop the script when the user is typing?

Should only allow the "m" hotkey to work while in Photoshop, and not in any other window.

Look up "Hotkey" in the helpfile. You can use:

Code:
Hotkey, 8, on
Hotkey, 8, off

As others have mentionned you can disable your hotkeys and enable them later

Example of something I use

Code:
;Autoexec section
menu, Tray, icon, c:\myU.ico

; make sure scrolllock is "off"
 if (GetKeyState("scrolllock" , "T"]))
 {
   ;turn if off if it isnt
   SetScrollLockState , Off
 }
   hotkey , F4, Off
   hotkey , F1, Off
   hotkey , lwin, Off
   hotkey , Pause, Off
   hotkey , RButton, Off
   hotkey , ^up, Off
   hotkey , ^down, Off
   hotkey , ^enter, Off
;...
;...
return

~scrolllock::
   GetKeystate , scrollstate, scrolllock, T
   hotkey , F4, toggle
   hotkey , F1, toggle
   hotkey , lwin, toggle
   hotkey , Pause, toggle
   hotkey , RButton, toggle
   hotkey , ^up, toggle
   hotkey , ^down, toggle
   hotkey , ^enter, toggle
;...
;...
   menu , Tray, icon, c:\my%scrollState%.ico
return


When I hit scrolllock it activates all my hotkeys and changes my icon in my taskbar

I have 2 icons one green for "active" and one yellow for disabled.
call your icons myU.ico and myD.ico
U for Up and D for down...
Anyhow you can change it to your likings.. thats what I use anyhow.

I'm a newbie trying to learn AHK.
I have tried the codes here but they're not working.

Here's what I'm trying to do.

LButton::F1

Then I wanted to press X to either disable it temporarily so I could use the mouse again, or just to shut off AHK altogether
Thanks

Read up on http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Suspend.htm so adding X::Suspend to your script above should be enough, now you can press X to toggle it. But of course X is a regular letter to type so I would suggest a keycombo as described in the suspend doc linked above.
