Hi...I would like to add a line of code at special places in my program so that it will stop and continue running only after I hit one particular key on the keyboard. This will help me debug my program. Is this possible? Thanks. playfullscientist

Hi...I understand the idea behind

pause::pause

but which key do I hit on my keyboard to make the program continue. I don't see a pause/break key on my keyboard. Am I missing something?
Thanks. playfullscientist

the command Pause is a toggle

so Pause::Pause means if you hit the pause key on your keyboard it will pause your script. then if you hit the pause key again the script will resume where it left off.

I think he's saying he doesn't have a pause key on his keyboard. Don't worry, playfullscientist, it will work with any hotkey:

space::pause

^!p::pause

Heck, it would probably even work with a hotsring:

::pause::
pause
return

If I put Pause::Pause at top af my script, the script do not run if I start It.
If I now press the key Pause, the icon become red (is now in pause),
If I press again the key Pause , the icon is not red now, (now in not in pause) , but the script do not run ........

For my the comand Pause do not work properly

Try putting it at the bottom instead, after everything else.
