Hi @lucas222, what exactly are you trying to pause? Are you referring to pausing media, action sequence, something else?

an action sequence. Thank you for your post

For key presses there is an extra action that is more performant than polling ("wait for key press"):

However you need to enter the key code (Complete list of AppleScript key codes )

Hello again Andreas, is there any way that you would have the patience and kindness to add numerical triggers to drawings conflict menus (or at least trigger when typing the first letter of the trigger). The workaround proposed in the forum has caused me problems and I stopped using it. Vielen Dank
