How Do I Use the same hotkey to run/stop a macro?

[JMichaelTX]

@Omri_Avital

Want to use the hotkey ⌘G to trigger a macro (do something in endless loop)

and then use the same hotkey to stop the running of this macro (cancel all running/pending instances… I use “semaphore lock” to prevent multiple instances running at the same time)

In this case you do not want to use a semaphore lock.
Use a global variable to indicate if your macro is running.

This macro should give you an idea of how to do this. Of course you will need to adapt to your specific needs, and assign a hot key trigger.

MACRO:   Toggle Start/Stop of Macro [Example]
