How to stop running script when ALT+SHIFT+C is not possible? --- workaround

Asked by Yadong Yu

---- workaround ---------------- (thanks to post #2)
# add to main script
def StopScript(event):
    sys.exit()
Env.addHotkey(<<key>>,<<modifier>>, StopScript)
# use a suitable key/modifier combination
------------------------

I'm running my script from command line, and i know that hotkey "ALT+SHIFT+C" can do that.
However, hotkey conflict makes this not work sometimes....
Is there any other reliable way to stop the current running script?

Sorry, currently not.

You have to abort the running task with system means.

I will make the stop-hotkey configurable (see: https://github.com/RaiMan/SikuliX1/issues/569 )

I think i alredy read a workaround for this :

Just from my memory, I'd say it is something like that :

import sys
def StopScript(event):
    sys.exit()

Env.addHotkey(Key, KEY_CTRL, StopScript)

I think it is somewhere on this launchpad, I'll edit this post if I can find it again.

@Corentin
Thanks for the hint.
At least a workaround, but you need it in every main script you are using.

So some global configurable option might be useful. I have it on the list now.

Can you help with this problem?
