Newbie limited by mere hotkeys?

[ganon64]

So i just started to learn this, but one thing i found is the only way u can read the keyboard as to what key the user just pressed and then act upon it is to use hotkeys?

I wondered if there was another way of doing this cause its a pain to have to put each key dependent piece of code in a separate function especially when i wanna embed a key dependent IF statment inside another function.

Also is their someway u can enable and disable hotkey detection via a line of code?

_IsPressed () may be better.

Edit: aslo see http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=37289 FAQ #8

Yes just set the Hotkey again with no Function referenced.

I.E.

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
;rest of script
HotKeySet("{ESC}") ; to turn off ESC as a hotkey
