Pause until key press?

Questions & Suggestions

OK, given that you want to also capture the keystroke, it may be simpler, better, to use something like this:

  • MACRO A

    • The initial macro that starts your workflow.
    • Does whatever you want until you want it to "pause" for any keystroke.
    • Then it would enable Macro B, and exit.

  • MACRO B

    • Is initially disabled, until enabled by Macro A.
    • Has a typed string trigger of \.
      • If you can restrict your keystroke to letters or numbers that would be better
      • You could then use \w (any letter or number)
    • As soon as you type a keystroke, this macro is triggered.
    • The key pressed is in the token %TriggerValue%
    • Do whatever processing you need with it
    • Then disable this macro as the last Action

There may be other, better, approaches.

How does that sound?
