I agree. This will be for my own personal use only. But does this actually work even when the stand alone is not the active applications?

The only way I found to work it was by polling. This means that the script may miss the keypress if it is too short. -- poll for control-enter keypress on KeyMonitor get "," & the keysDown & "," if ",65507," is in it and ",65293," is in it and the hilight of btn "Active" is true then -- do stuff here end if if KeyMonitor is not in the pendingmessages then send KeyMonitor to me in 10 ticks end KeyMonitor I wouldn't want to use this for a program you plan to distribute, but for my own purposes - where I know about the sample rate and will remember to hold the keys down for a moment - it works fine. ~ Chris Innanen ~ Nonsanity On Mon, Feb 21, 2011 at 11:16 AM, Ray Horsley <r...@linkit.com> wrote: > Anybody know of a way to trap for keystrokes when a standalone is > running as a service.
