Certainly a simple question that probably has a simple answer:

I need to define a hotkey at the beginning of the script to exit the script at any time during execution. To do this i have simply added the following line at the start of the script:

s::ExitApp

When i try to run the script however, it exits the second it sees the hotkey declaration. Why?

Unlike normal labels, into which the auto execute section will fall if there is no "return" to stop them, hotkeys and hotstrings will implicitly end the auto execute section.

In light of this, I'm not sure what the problem could be in this case, nor can I reproduce it. Perhaps you pressed the letter S accidentally?

Thanks for the help. I just put the hotkey definition at the end of the script instead of the beginning. Although this should not make a difference ( I suppose) because hotkeys are processed at script load (?), the script works perfectly now.
