Can anyone make a simple script that when i press ctrl+s, it will disable keyboard and mouse

Be careful with Block commands.
Save all opened files and be aware of the fact you might have to use the reset button of your PC.

I tried it but for me it didn't work.
Maybe because I'm no admin.

Code: Select all

^s:: ; Ctrl+S
BlockInput, On ; Disable keyboard and mouse input
Sleep, 5000
BlockInput, Off ; Enable keyboard and mouse input
return

Leave the Sleep time, test it.
If it works, remve it and create another hotkey which enables keyboard and mouse again.
For example:

Code: Select all

Esc::
BlockInput, Off ; Enable keyboard and mouse input
return

But I have no idea if it actually will work.

This will not work because you miss return

Code: Select all

^s:: ; Ctrl+S
KeyWait Control ; waiting that controll wil relese to not have "stuck down"
BlockInput, On ; Disable keyboard and mouse input
return ; missed that return in first code
$~esc::
BlockInput Off

And if Escape key didn't work you allways can disable Blockinput by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del. It will re-enable input due to a Windows API feature like say's in documentation
