How to terminate a script with a keyboard?

Is there a way to break a script in the mid-run? I for one haven't run in a situation that would require this
but I can easily imagine such a scenario... Then what? Is there any other way than to kill RJ TE? If not, would it be possible to add such a feature?

I just run into one of these cases, hiding the main form
so no way to close the app window other then killing RJ TE
So, is it possible?

And no, "Exit Script (Shift+Esc)" doesn't work for me.
Here's a somewhat contrived sample of situation when you'd need it:
Code: Select all
function hideForm()
{
d.hide;
// d.ModalResult = mrOk;
}
d = new TForm(nil);
d.Caption = "Prepare to kill RJ TE";
d.BorderStyle = bsDialog;
d.Position = poScreenCenter;
d.Width = 165;
d.Height = 65;
// OK button
ok = new TButton(d);
ok.Parent = d;
ok.SetBounds(30, 5, 100, 25);
ok.Caption = "Go for it!";
ok.OnClick = &hideForm;
// show the main dialog
d.ShowModal;
d.Free;
It could be a long/infinite loop as well, when you'd want "Exit Script" to work.

Any chance you look into it someday soon? I could really, really use it, you know. Perhaps other people could, too
