How to stop a loop

[bayeroo22]

Hello,
I have a simple script and I would like to stop or interrupt it when I want to:
I start the script with Hotkey F1 and i want to stop it with F2 (maybe after 4 loops).

---

import time

def repeat_input():
count = 0
while count < 10: # loop 10 times
#keyboard.wait('0')
keyboard.send_keys("1")
time.sleep(0.1)
keyboard.send_keys("2")
time.sleep(0.1)
keyboard.send_keys("3")
time.sleep(0.1)
keyboard.send_keys("4")
time.sleep(0.1)
keyboard.send_keys("5")
time.sleep(5.0)

    count += 1

Start

repeat_input()

Welcome to the AutoKey community, @bayeroo22 !

This should do it for you.

Be sure to check out the rest of the wiki. There are a lot of helpful articles and sample scripts.

FYI: The time module is already exposed to all AutoKey scripts, so you don't need to import it, but Python is smart, so doing so doesn't hurt anything.
