How it works
- Pick the routine to cancel.
- It cancels that routine's runs and reports how many it stopped, such as "Cancelled 3 runs of Backup".
- If you pick the routine it's in, it only stops the other runs unless you turn on the advanced option to stop this run too.
- If nothing was running, it simply says so.
Routines that use it
Panic key
A hotkey routine cancels a long Repeat routine that's typing text into an app.
Game comes first
When Game started fires, cancel a running backup routine so it doesn't slow the PC.
Only the newest run
At the start of a routine, cancel its own older runs so only the latest one keeps going.
Settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Include this runadvanced | When the routine is this one: also stop this run (otherwise only its other runs). |
Good to know
- A routine made with a newer version of KeyRoutines can't be changed by this step.
Questions
- How do I stop a KeyRoutines routine with a hotkey?
- Make a routine with a Hotkey trigger and a Cancel routine step pointing at the routine you want to stop.
- Can a routine cancel itself?
- It can cancel its other runs, and with the advanced option on it also stops the run doing the cancelling.
