How to stop a script Topic is solved

[bxgchoi]

Hi Everyone,

Is there a way to immediately stop and end my script from continuing further?

For example, this is my script:

Code: Select all

^5::
MouseMove, 2948, 312
MouseClick, Right
Sleep, 2000
MouseMove, 55, 92, 0, R
MouseClick, Left
MouseMove -1600, 200, 0, R
MouseClick, Left
return

How can i make it so that if i press {ESC} it automatically stops and ends the script if it's only halfway or so through? Thank you in advance!

Add Esc::ExitApp to your script

You can use a suspend AutoHotkey function, just press [ESC] and the script stop working, press again and it works.

Code: Select all

Esc::
Suspend, Off
Pause, Off, 1
If (toggle := !toggle) {
 Suspend, On
 Pause, On, 1
}

Esc::
Suspend
Pause,, 1
Return

Excellent! Thank you for sharing that.

Add Esc::ExitApp to you script

Where do i add this? The end or beginning? Thank you in advance!

Generally speaking, a hotkey (or hotstring or subroutine) can exist anywhere in the script below the top auto-execute section. So just put it somewhere, and the script will find it when you press that hotkey.

I am using the following script that I got from mikeyww in another post to stop a script. I’ve got a great e number of keys remapped to do various things, and those keys include critical letters that are easily within reach (eg qwer) but occasionally I have to do some actual flat out typing. So I’m using this script to exit the script so that I can use qwer keys.

Code: Select all

F7::
Suspend, Off
Pause, Off, 1
If (toggle := !toggle) 
 Suspend, On
 Pause, On, 1
Return

and it works just fine, but what I would like to do is merely pause ( not exit ) the script by hitting F7… do some normal typing … then reengage the script by hitting F7 again. Or, to keep things simple, press F8 or some other key to reengage the script.

Any idea how to do this? As always greatly appreciated.

Wait I just realized that the script does pause the function – rather than exiting. I can unsuspend the script with a couple of mouse clicks. Still I would love to hit F7 or F8 to reengage the function

[mikeyww]

Code: Select all

F7::Suspend, Toggle

Any hotkey/hotstring subroutine whose very first line is Suspend (except Suspend On) will be exempt from suspension. In other words, the hotkey will remain enabled even while suspension is ON. This allows suspension to be turned off via such a hotkey.

Suspends and un suspends like a charm
