Help with F keys hotkeys

[DisplayNoob]

Hello Members,

I working on a small tool that type in some text in a program and i use the F1 to F11 keys as Hotkey. That is working, but when i try to pause my script to use F1 or some other F key for a Windows function like to open help page from a program It is not working. So is there a way to pause my script and let the Windows F functions working again?

Thanks for the reply.

Global $Paused = False

HotKeySet("{INS}", "Send_Hotkey")
HotKeySet("{F1}", "Send_Hotkey")
HotKeySet("{F2}", "Send_Hotkey")

$file = @ScriptDir & "\config.ini"

$F1_ini = IniRead($fileh, "key", "f1_button", "-")
$F2_ini = IniRead($fileh, "key", "f2_button", "-")

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func Send_Hotkey()
    Switch @HotKeyPressed
        Case "{INS}"
            $Paused = Not $Paused
            While $Paused
                Sleep(100)
                ToolTip('SCRIPT STOP | TEST"', 0, 0)
            WEnd
            ToolTip("")

        Case "{F1}"
            While 1
                Send ($F1_ini)
            WEnd

        Case "{F2}"
            While 1
                Send ($F2_ini)
            WEnd

    EndSwitch
EndFunc

You need to unregister the hotkey when you pause the script

expandcollapse popup

Global $Paused = False

HotKeySet("{INS}", "Send_Hotkey")
HotKeyRegister()

$file = @ScriptDir & "\config.ini"

$F1_ini = IniRead($file, "key", "f1_button", "-")
$F2_ini = IniRead($file, "key", "f2_button", "-")

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func HotKeyRegister()
    HotKeySet("{F1}", "Send_Hotkey")
    HotKeySet("{F2}", "Send_Hotkey")
EndFunc   ;==>HotKeyRegister

Func HotKeyUnregister()
    HotKeySet("{F1}")
    HotKeySet("{F2}")
EndFunc   ;==>HotKeyUnregister

Func Send_Hotkey()
    Switch @HotKeyPressed
        Case "{INS}"
            $Paused = Not $Paused
            HotKeyUnregister()
            While $Paused
                Sleep(100)
                ToolTip('SCRIPT STOP | TEST"', 0, 0)
            WEnd
            HotKeyRegister()
            ToolTip("")

        Case "{F1}"
            While 1
                Send($F1_ini)
            WEnd

        Case "{F2}"
            While 1
                Send($F2_ini)
            WEnd

    EndSwitch
EndFunc   ;==>Send_Hotkey
