Mechanism/flowchart used by MS to Resolve Duplicate Hotkeys

Post by armsys » Sun Dec 15, 2002 10:20 am

What if:
1. a hot key activates a Macro Scheduler script ("MS"),
2. becasue all conditions fail (for example, the required window doesn't exist), logically the script doesn't take any action and go to the end.

Questions:
1. Is the hot key in question "killed" by MS from the keyboard buffer?
2. Will MS leave the hot key in the keyboard buffer?

I'm intrigued by the way MS manages the keyboard buffer/event.

Thanks for your input.

Thanks.

Cheers,

The hotkey doesn't remain in the buffer. It simply fires the script and regardless of what your script then does (process something or just exit) the script has still run as far as Macro Scheduler is concerned and the hot key will have no further effect.
