Can a macro WAIT for a keypress?

[bctv]

I just found MMM and I see that there is the ability to pause a macro using WAIT. But is that pause only time related? Or can it pause indefinitely until a specific key is pressed?

Basically, I'm hoping to create a macro that will automate tasks involved with setting up a new FB video stream. But at some point, the user has to manually enter a unique title for the stream in a webpage. For my plan to work, I'd need a macro that waits for this title to be entered, and then un-pauses after a specific keypress.

I'd make it just a timed pause, but I'm hoping to use this to assist an elderly volunteer. And the amount of time he'd need to enter a title can be hugely different depending on how he's feeling that day and if he knows where his reader glasses are.

Thanks for the help.

Hello

Either a keypress: www.turnssoft.com/conditions.html#keyboardkeypress

Or even better, a full message box with a question:

Good luck!

Keyboardkeypress can be a bit difficult to detect with MMM.
I'd suggest going a different route. Have you considered using some other environmental queue to continue the macro flow? Perhaps a pixel change or picture detection?

Have a look at the condition page for some ideas www.turnssoft.com/conditions.html and this forum for some code examples. The search function of the forum is surprising good. I've also got a gif repository here with examples that might be useful...most of these are on this forum minimousemacro.com/pic/forum/pics.html.
