Ending recursion

I see that if by mistake I end up in a never ending loop using a script I can press and hold escape to end that loop. Was this intended or I just found something new. In any case I like it.

Don't know. Give an example.

Ok, just made-up one to move to next tab:
Code: Select all
"Cycle Tabs Forward : ctf"
#1018;
sub ctf
this sets the loop (when recursion checker is off).
Now you can press and hold escape to end loop.

I think that's intended, at least I always thought it was...

Yeah, I thought the same too when i saw this happening. Its actually useful in case of accidental loops.

Yes, true. Had been added already in v6.80.0007 - 2008-01-10 11:24.
Code: Select all
+ Scripting: Now you can terminate a running script by pressing ESC.
The next to follow functions will not be executed anymore.
So you can even stop a non-recursing script by ESC.

Oh ok, so we always had the safety belt.
