well, i have a little script fading the volume. its bound to a key via iKey.
now, when i've acitavated the script i want to be able to activate it again
during fading to stop the fading. at the moment this doesn't work: once i
pressed the key the script runs unimpressed by any newer key stroke.
i can see two solutions:
i) either finding a way to execute the script more than once, but then i
still have to sort out the issue with the communiacting of the two
instances.
ii) or writing the script in away that once it is kicked off _itself_ checks
the key and deals with it. but how can an applescript check keys systemwide
(i.e. check keys even if another app has the focus.)
cheers, leo
