if capslock is "on" ?

Hello,

 

I don't find this condition in ME pro 4.9. I want a way to pause my macro (the ME options are bad for this).

You could make a second macro, activated by a hot key, that sets/clears a flag for pause/go.

Your main macro could check the flag and delay, or not.  Checking the flag could be as frequently as you want, and the delays could be short or long, depending on how responsive you need it to be.

The flag you set could be a registry value, the existence or non-existence of a file, etc.

You can test Caps Lock state in Version 6. For example:

 

Get Key State "CAPS Lock" into %CapsLockState%
If Variable %CapsLockState% Equals "True"
  Text Box Display: Caps Lock is ON
Else
  Text Box Display: Caps Lock is OFF
End If

 

<GET KEY STATE Key="CAPS Lock" Dest="%CapsLockState%"/>
<IF VARIABLE Variable="%CapsLockState%" Condition="\x00" Value="True" IgnoreCase="FALSE"/>
<TEXT BOX DISPLAY Title="Caps Lock is ON" Content="{\\rtf1\\ansi\\ansicpg1252\\deff0\\deflang1033{\\fonttbl{\\f0\\fnil Tahoma;}}\r\n\\viewkind4\\uc1\\pard\\f0\\fs14 \r\n\\par }\r\n" Left="Center" Top="Center" Width="278" Height="200" Monitor="0" OnTop="TRUE" Keep_Focus="TRUE" Mode="\x00" Delay="0"/>
<ELSE/>
<TEXT BOX DISPLAY Title="Caps Lock is OFF" Content="{\\rtf1\\ansi\\ansicpg1252\\deff0\\deflang1033{\\fonttbl{\\f0\\fnil Tahoma;}}\r\n\\viewkind4\\uc1\\pard\\f0\\fs14 \r\n\\par }\r\n" Left="Center" Top="Center" Width="278" Height="200" Monitor="0" OnTop="TRUE" Keep_Focus="TRUE" Mode="\x00" Delay="0"/>
<END IF/>

 

When writing MEP scripts that involve the Caps Lock key, there are two checkboxes on the "Miscellaneous" tab that you may need to uncheck:

Oops!  Turns out you can do this in version 4.9 also.  Forget my previous advice.
