Quick Close - is there an opposite to the "Quick run" feature?

Post by A Keymaker » 14 Jun 2022, 11:40

So I just started using this editor, a few days after I installed AutoHotkey

And when I load up AHK file to it and then right lick on a tab of a script, in the shell menu there is this Quick run position- which is a handy shortcut to run a given script. But is there also a an apposite shortcut to this? A one that would detect if that script is being run at a given moment- and if yes, close it?

I know i can go to the Tray - but this is not the same convenience as not having to navigate to the Tray but using some right click entry or icon from a bar within the editor

Ctrl+Break will close a script, but forcefully, I think.
Easisest is always to add a shortcut to the script like Esc::ExitApp (or whatever you like) which can be removed after testing, if needed.
Afaik, you can also modify the toolbars and buttons. You can change a lot, but you have to dig into it.

Thank you for the info

But I would argue that if there is Quick run, so should there be Quick end

Thus- should I made a request to its creator or will this post here be somehow noticed and hopefully such new feature taken into consideration?
