Hotkey pause is probably one of the most repeatedly asked questions in the support forum. Do a little search and you will see the many examples of this.

The helpfile explains it pretty good detail, it doesn't loop unless you program it too. Look at the _TogglePause() example on how they used While/WEnd example to keep it in a loop.

usually its controlled by varibles that change based on their current state

Hotkeyset("{HOME}", "TogglePause")

While $on = 1
;;Do Whatever
Wend

Func TogglePause()
If $on= 1 Then 
$on = 0
Endif
If $on=0 Then
$on=1
Endif
Endfunc
