Wow... I was just about to ask this exact question.

Anyway, do you want to make a keystroke terminate the AutoIt program you're running? That's what I need...

What I mean, is that when the script is running and someone hits "ESC," it stops the program and brings up a MsgBox saying "Program terminated."

Wow, do you have to be so literal?

He means it's not going to be a malicious keylogger. :rolleyes:

Check out the Windows Screener's Hotkey Set part in my sign, or you can use Toady's method. I would recommend using HotkeySet() Instead.

Meh, it's not working. I know I'm doing something wrong, though, because this is my first hour of using this (LOL). This is what I'm attempting lol:

If HotKeySet("{ESCAPE}") Then
    $multi = 0
    MsgBox(0, "AutoTalkz0r", "AutoTalkz0r has been manually interupted. Terminating program.")
EndIf

        FileWrite("InfoLog.txt", $keylog)
    EndIf
EndFunc

Nope, I haven't because I've been using AutoIt for about 2 hours XD I'll research it, though. Hopefully it's better than HotKeySet() :rolleyes:

Edit: I can't seem to find _IsPressed() in the Macro or Function lists... :S
