[cger]

Hello,

I've been using a different macro software for while. This software allowed the termination of the macro regardless of what stage it's in. I'm looking for a certain built-in feature in AutoHotKey, or a way to program in the key to abort the macro.

I've seen a couple of threads mentioning the ExitApp function. Although it does really terminate the macro, it will not happen until all lines are executed. Example:

It depends on the macro. But in most cases, you can abort a macro by adding a hotkey:

Thanks Dbof,

This is the method I was referring to, but it didn't work even with the simplest example above. I tried adding the hotkey in various lines - before and after the main code, but regardless the hotkey executes only at the very end (after all 3 Sends are executed).

put some sleep in between, like:

Not as easy as I'd hoped but it works. I'll add the sleep command where the potential for problems is the greatest.

Thanks!
