I have to check.

I made the following test with latest 1.1.4 - works in IDE and running the jar from commandline using
<runide> -r someRunnable_sikuli.jar

# script:
def hkHandler(event):
  print "*** hotkey pressed"
  global shouldstop
  shouldstop = True

shouldstop = False
Env.addHotkey("c", KeyModifier.CTRL + KeyModifier.ALT, hkHandler)

for n in range(20):
  if shouldstop: break
  print n
  wait(1)

So you can use the HotKey feature to add any fuctionality to your script, that reacts on pressing specific keys.

I am sorry, but I do not support 1.1.3 anymore.
