How did you specify the command for the hotkey?
Although I'm not sure if it's the cause, I'm afraid that inputcancel()
as the command was a bad choice. Firstly, it's not supposed to be used
as a standalone command though apparently it seems to work: use
inputdialog() instead for that purpose. Secondly, there seems to be no
point to use inputcancel(), instead of inputtext() in this case.
Maybe you can try:
do(inputtext("Text"))
