Hotkey ESC + Exit doesn't appear to be working

[Technix]

I'm trying to stop the script by pressing ESC, but it doesn't appear to do anything. 

I can't even right-click the taskbar icon to exit the script. I have to kill the process through task manager. 

Using W10 and the ImageSearch 64 bit library

#include <ImageSearch.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <AutoItConstants.au3>

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

MsgBox($MB_OK, "start", "start")

global $y = 0, $x = 0, $searchAgain = true

Func _Quit()
    Exit
EndFunc

while 1
    $searchAgain = true
    local $search = _ImageSearch('button.PNG', 1, $x, $y, 100)
    If $search = 1 Then
        $searchAgain = false
        MouseMove($x, $y, 10)
        MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, $x, $y, 1)
        Sleep(100)
    EndIf
    
    if $searchAgain Then
        local $search = _ImageSearch('button2.PNG', 1, $x, $y, 100)
        If $search = 1 Then
            MouseMove($x, $y, 10)
            MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, $x, $y, 1)
            Sleep(100)
        EndIf
    EndIf
WEnd

I do not use the ImageSearch UDF, so the error may result from that.
Just as a proof of concept, try this :

;~ #include <ImageSearch.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <AutoItConstants.au3>

HotKeySet("{ESC}", _Quit)

MsgBox($MB_OK, "start", "start")

Global $y = 0, $x = 0, $search, $searchAgain = True

While 1
    $searchAgain = True
    If $search = 1 Then
        $searchAgain = False
        Sleep(100)
    EndIf

    If $searchAgain Then
        If $search = 1 Then
            MouseMove($x, $y, 10)
            MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, $x, $y, 1)
            Sleep(100)
        EndIf
    EndIf
WEnd

Func _Quit()
    MsgBox(BitOR(4096, 64), "Message :", "Script terminated" & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Quit

Guess the program that has the focus is capturing the Esc...   which program are you automating?

Ok, this properly terminated. This is good (and bad)

Google Chrome. If it has any impact, website GUI is running Vuetify. Automating data entry
