Hotkey Buffering

[CyberSlug]

If you pause a script via its tray icon, the script will still buffer any HotKeys and execute them once the script is resumed.

1) Run the provided script, and optionally press ScrollLock a few times

2) Use the tray icon to pause the script

3) Hit ScrollLock two or three times

4) Unpause the script

HotKeySet("{ScrollLock}", "foo")

Run("notepad");use for output of Send commands
While 1
   sleep(100)
WEnd

Func foo()
   WinActivate("Untitled - Notepad")
   Send("this is a message")
EndFunc

Feature or bug? I'd say "undesired behavior."

Well, it's how I designed it. I had to write code to make it buffer - it wasn't an accident.

But even when the script is "Paused" with the tray icon??? I only like the buffering when the script is running.

If the behavior is what you want, I'll document it in HotKeySet.

I can make it throw away keys when paused I guess. But if you buffer up lots of keys and then pause it they will already have been in the buffer and will execute when you unpause.

That's exactly how I would expect the tray-icon pause feature to work But maybe that's just me.

Edit: I see it's implemented--thanks!
