Ctrl + Break is not working

[kcvinu]

Hi all,

Ctrl + Break is not working in my laptop. When i try to stop a running script, if i press Ctrl + Break (Pause Break) there is no response from SciTE.  But same short key is working in my PC. 

I tried with script contains these lines

Send("^{Break}") and Send("{LCTRL}{Break}")

But didn't work.

Lap top's OS = Win 8.1 64 bit.

Edit : Can i change this hot key ? if so how ?

Your laptop may have fn key

use Ctrl + Fn key + Break

Hi 

sdfaheemuddin, Thanks. Let me try

Why not just use Exit in your script instead of trying to "Send" the ctrl+break? Unless Scite was the active window, Ctrl+Break isn't going to work anyways.

This seems like a really foolish way to try and exit your own script.

Hi 

BrewManNH, When i am testing some scripts , i need to stop running them manually. That's why i am asking this.

You might be better off looking at >what Stumpii did.

Other than that, doesn't ESC quit out of a running script ... I seem to recall something about that?

Personally, I just right-click the icon in the tray, and exit that way.

Sometime when you got only mouse move / click ... you just cant do that xD

on my laptop keyboard i have to hold SHIFT while pressing the pause/break key for it to work, maybe your's also?

CTRL+SHIFT+PAUSE

I understand what you're doing, I think how you're doing it is makes no sense. If you want to exit your script, put an Exit command in the function to exit the script. Sending CTRL+Break to SciTE to do it is ass-backwards.

[sdfaheemuddin]

Can I get the model of your laptop if you don't mind.

[kcvinu]

sdfaheemuddin, if you are asking to me, then my laptop is Asus Notebook PC X551 MA

[sdfaheemuddin]

Yes try Ctrl + Fn key + Break (END Key)

By the way do you have your laptop with you now

[kcvinu]

@

sdfaheemuddin, yes.

Personnaly i did a looooot of script with badass mouse click / move ... look at this... this is the best way.

   HotKeySet("{ESCAPE}", "Exite")


   Func Exite () ;==>Quitter
       Exit
   EndFunc

If you want to leave the script without any action...

AdlibRegister ("Exite",  30 000)

   Func Exite () ;==>Quitter
       Exit
   EndFunc

Leaving the script after 30 Seconds

Otherwise if you dont need that you still can automate OSK.EXE

I felt like I was looking at a page from "Where's Waldo" looking for the "badass"ness.
