Hello!

On AutoHotKey I do something like this using SuspendKeys to turn on or off the script of a list of shortcuts.

[code]ifenabled := 0

SuspendKeys: ; by default, this app is suspended. And when it's called by ^+!F1, it will be activated.
Suspend
if (ifenabled = 0) {
ifenabled := 1
TrayTip
TrayTip, % "The app", % "Desabled", , 16
} else {
ifenabled := 0
TrayTip
TrayTip, % "The app", % "Enabled", , 16
}
Return

^+!F1:: ; control + shift + alt + F1
Suspend, Permit
Return[/code]

Is there any recommended way to do the same thing on Python?

ChatGPT showed me this code. Is it the best way? I like AutoHotKeys SuspendKeys because it truly turns off the shortcuts!

Thanks!

import keyboard

# Global variable to track the active state of the script
active = True

def toggle_activation():
global active
active = not active
print("Script is now", "active" if active else "inactive")

def take_screenshot():
if active:
print("Taking screenshot...") # Replace this with your screenshot logic

def perform_task():
if active:
print("Performing task...") # Replace this with your task logic

def main():
# Listen for Ctrl+J key combination to toggle activation
keyboard.add_hotkey('ctrl+j', toggle_activation)

# Listen for other key combinations to perform actions
keyboard.add_hotkey('x', take_screenshot)
keyboard.add_hotkey('z', perform_task)

print("Script is now active")
keyboard.wait() # Wait for keyboard events indefinitely
