Tweak to disable Esc popup

Post by WirlyWirly »

I mentioned this in another section, but thought I'd post it here instead.

It'd be nice if there was a tweak to disable the little popup you get when you press Esc to kill a script. The status bar would suffice for such a notice and not interfere with workflow.

Also, this popup seems buggy since it will usually re-open itself and then need to be closed several times before it finally disappears.

I just turn it into a status bar message (I'm also not a fan of message boxes).

Do you mean to say there's already an option to turn it into a status bar message, or that you changed it in a future release?

From what I've captured, it was in 0244...

* Scripting: The message "Script terminated by ESC." now appears in the
status bar instead of in a message box.

On a related note, there's another message box that breaks workflow. It pops up when I try to run quickly run the same script back-to-back.

In my case, I'm using a hotkey to load a menu script, I select an option from that menu, and then call the script again before the first action has been processed... I think?...

Hard to say without seeing the script. It might be a useful error message that helps to improve your script. Or have you tried that already?

SC setting "AllowRecursion",1 should eliminate that message when placed in that script and will stay in affect only for the life of the script.
