jowensii Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Hey guys, just wanting to know if anybody else is experiencing an issue with their "Abort Macro Hotkey" defined in Options --> Playback. I have used the PAUSE key as my abort hotkey for years and now on all 5 of my PC's with ME (v3.5c) it no longer works. The only abort hotkey I can ge to work is the "WIN+`" which is what I normally used as my "Pause Macro HotKey". If I set it as my Abort Hotkey, then none of the remaining available hotkeys for Pause Macro HotKey" will work. Just wondering if anyone else is seeing this before I report a bug. It has to be a bug if I can reproduce it on 5 PC's, right???? RIGHT???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floyd Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 I am not having any problems with them on our computers. We have Break set to abort and Pause set to pause. They work as expected. I reversed them after reading your post, and they still worked as expected. What is not made clear in the docs is that the Break key is actually Ctrl+Break. From the Macro Express Explained book: If you choose Break (like what is shown in the example), you will need to press Ctrl+Break to abort amacro. This is not a function of Windows or Macro Express; it is how most keyboards work that have a "Pause/Break" key. Because "Pause" is printed on the top and "Break" is printed on the bottom, it seems that to choose "Pause" you would need to press Shift+Pause. Not true! Shift is not recognized with this key. So, if you want pause, press the Pause key. If you want break, press Ctrl+Break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
