Key remapping

[jsampson]

Hello -

 

I see that alphabetic keys can be remapped, but is there any way of remapping the escape key so that it does

not function? I would like the function of the escape key in a particular program to be served by another key

combination instead.

 

Regards

The Escape key is available as a hotkey for activating a macro in exactly the same way as any alphabetical key.

 

If you want to control this in an already running macro, then use code like this:

Wait for Key Press: ESC -- wait for up to 10 seconds
On Error
  Catch Error: The condition was not met within the specified amount of time
 Variable Set Bool bError to "True"
  End Catch Error
End Error
If Variable %bError% Equals "false" -- Esc key was pressed within 10 seconds
  Text Box Display: 
Else -- Esc key was not pressed within 10 seconds
  Text Box Display: 
End If

<WAIT FOR KEY PRESS Key="ESC" Indefinite="FALSE" Hours="0" Minutes="0" Seconds="10" _HANDLE="0x0014"/>
<ON ERROR/>
<CATCH ERROR Code="20"/>
<VARIABLE SET BOOL Destination="bError" Command="263" Value="TRUE"/>
<END CATCH ERROR/>
<END ERROR/>
<IF VARIABLE Variable="%bError%" Condition="\x00" Value="false" IgnoreCase="FALSE"/>
