Pause script when a hotkey is pressed

[sisa]

Hello,
I use the following simple script to spam the e key:

Code: Select all

F2::
If State=50
State=Off
else
State=50
SetTimer SendKey, %State%
Return

SendKey:
Send e
Return

Is it possible to modify that script in a way that it stops spamming the e key when any other hotkey combination is pressed and continue to spam e after a hotkey is released?
I would appreciate any help.

Hallo,
every other Hotkey must begin with "Thread, NoTimers"!
Try:

Code: Select all

q::
Thread, NoTimers
Sleep, 4000
Return

F2::
If State=50
State=Off
else
State=50
SetTimer SendKey, %State%
Return

SendKey:
Send e
Return

Thats exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Is it also possible to pause the script when Ctrl or Alt are pressed and unpause the script when Ctrl or Alt are released?
I have tried the following but for some reason it doesn't seem to work:

Code: Select all

Ctrl up::pause off

Ctrl::pause on

Hallo,
try:

	Suspend ;Suspend Hotkeys and Hotstrings
	Pause,,1 ;Pause script including all timer
	KeyWait, Ctrl
	Suspend, Off
	Pause, Off
Return

Hi,
thanks again!

try:

Code: Select all

*LCtrl::
	Suspend ;Suspend Hotkeys and Hotstrings
	Pause,,1 ;Pause script including all timer
	KeyWait, Ctrl
	Suspend, Off
	Pause, Off
Return

Something turns wrong when I integrate this in my script.

My script looks like that:

Code: Select all

F11::
If State=50
State=Off
else
State=50
SetTimer SendKey, 200
Return

SendKey:
Send {Media_Next}
Return

*LCtrl::
	Suspend ;Suspend Hotkeys and Hotstrings
	Pause,,1 ;Pause script including all timer
	KeyWait, Ctrl
	Suspend, Off
	Pause, Off
Return

I would like to do the following:
Spam the "Media_Next" hotkey and when ctrl is pressed it should pause spamming "Media_Next" for as long as I hold down the Ctrl key and then continue to spam "Media_Next" when ctrl key is released.
Key combinations with Ctrl such as Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, etc should however work while Ctrl is hold down.

Hallo,
forget Suspend and Pause and try:

Code: Select all

SendKey:
IF !GetKeyState("Ctrl","P")
    Send {Media_Next}
Return

That does the job. Thanks once again!
