Ending recursion

[serendipity]

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.
