 how to use a single hot key to pause and continue the script? 

[Musashi]

Try this as an example :

#include <Timers.au3>

HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", _TogglePause)
HotKeySet("{ESC}", _Terminate)

Global $g_bPaused  = False
Global $hStarttime = _Timer_Init() ; *** just as an info

While True
    ToolTip("Time : " & StringFormat("%.2f", _Timer_Diff($hStarttime) / 1000) & " sec")
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func _TogglePause()
    $g_bPaused = Not $g_bPaused
    While $g_bPaused
        Sleep(50)
        ToolTip('Script is paused', 10, 10, "Status :", 1, 1)
    WEnd
    ToolTip("")
EndFunc   ;==>_TogglePause

Func _Terminate()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Terminate

You could also have simply have opened the Helpfile and search for the term hotkey. You would have found an example that exactly does what you requested!
