In the code below (sends a few different items to a Bloomberg screen), I'd like to replace the Sleep commands with something that will wait for the spacebar to be pressed before continuing. I know a Msgbox with just an "okay" works, but then that dialog box blocks the screen I'm looking at. I also tried using a separate hotkey for pausing, but that seemed inelegant.

Look at the first example for this command
http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Input.htm

Instead of all the other keys listed, you could {Space}

Excellent... I don't know how I missed that.

FYI sometimes I just look at the catalog

http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands
In the helpfile it is under the Contents tab about 12th on the list.
Alphabetical List of Command.

I think of the old TV series "Mission: Impossible"
The leader looks at the list of experts available and chooses the ones that have the skills needed.

Also, under the "input" comamnd is a list called "related"
KeyWait, Hotstrings, InputBox, #InstallKeybdHook, Threads, if var in/contains MatchList
