HotKeySet ignores optional parameters

[danerjones@…]

After executing this function:

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "QuitApp")

Func QuitApp($Quick = False)
	
	If $Quick Then
		Exit
	EndIf
	
	_FinishUp()
	Exit
EndFunc

The following Error was returned.

>Running:(3.2.12.1):C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\autoit3.exe "C:\Script.au3"    
C:\Script.au3 (457) : ==> Variable used without being declared.:
If $Quick Then
If ^ ERROR

It appears that when {ESC} is pressed, the optional parameter is not properly defined causing the error.

This issue only occurs when the function is triggered from HotKeySet and an optional parameter is declared.

I have rewritten the function to work around the issue for the time being.

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "QuitApp")

Func QuitApp($Quick = False)
	
	If IsDeclared("Quick") Then 
		If $Quick Then Exit
	EndIf
	
	_FinishUp()
	Exit
EndFunc

This is not a bug.

Replying to Valik:

This is not a bug.

Fair enough :o)

I would like to request the documentation for the "HotKeySet" function be modified to better clarify this as it doesn't implicitly state optional parameters will also be treated as if undefined when the target function is called from "HotKeySet"

feels like a bug to me, I just ran into this problem.

Still not a bug, read the help file. HotKeySet functions can NOT have parameters.

It would be nice feature request I presume.
