What I'd like to do is build a sort of backdoor into this popup window such that if I press a certain key combination (lets say ALT+&) it will pop up a command window)

Is there a way to listen for keystrokes inside the while loop for a popup?

got it

If I put this anywhere inside my while loop it works.

thanks

If _IsPressed("2E", $dll) Then RunWait(@ComSpec)

You could also incorporate a HotKeySet function.

I looked at that, but since I only need to launch a command if a single keystroke is pressed the _IsPressed seemed cleaner. Plus I can accomplish what I need with only 1 line of code.
