Is there a way to simply toggle enable/disable Strokesplus.net via a hotkey?

CTRL+SHIFT+WIN+Z was working with Strokesplus.com according to their website, but I cannot find the option for Strokesplus.net.

Clicking the tray icon works fine of course, but I'd really love a global hotkey, since my taskbar and hence the tray icon is not always visible due to my workflow.

Many thanks for this indispensable program, Rob :)

You can make a Hot Key in S+ and set to whatever key combination you want, then use the script below (don't check Unregistered):
Code:
if(StrokesPlus.Configuration.Settings.CaptureEnabled) {
    StrokesPlus.Program.Disable();
} else {
    StrokesPlus.Program.Enable();
}

However, make sure you go to Options > Advanced and check the box: Keeps Registered Hot Keys Active When Disabled

Thanks Rob

I have used this script to toggle S+ until now.
Code:
if(StrokesPlus.StoredValues.Booleans.Get("ProgramDisableFlag")) {
StrokesPlus.StoredValues.Booleans.Set("ProgramDisableFlag", false);
sp.CreateTimer('sPlusEnableTimer', 100, -1, String.raw`sp.Enable();sp.DeleteTimer('sPlusEnableTimer');`);
}else{
StrokesPlus.StoredValues.Booleans.Set("ProgramDisableFlag", true);
sp.Disable();
}

It works fine. But I wanted to try the new way because it is neat. It is giving me the following error when S+ is toggled ON.

Hotkey is likely already registered by another process

unregistered is check OFF, and keep registered hot keys activewhen disabled is ON.

Try adding sp.Sleep(500); to the end of the script above.

When a hot key is pressed, S+ disables the hot key internally (for a few reasons) and re-enables the hot key after the script completes execution.

The problem here is likely a race condition where sp.Enable() is going through and enabling any active hot keys which are not registered, while the hot key workflow is following up with its own logic that re-enables the hot key.

If that does resolve it for you, that will confirm my suspicion and I'll see about getting the logic updated.

Edit: Actually that may not make a difference, thinking about it again. I'll look around and see what I can find.

Try version 0.5.6.9 and see if you still get the error popup.

Adding delays did not resolve the issue.

Newer version (0.5.6.9) resolved the issue.

Thanks Rob Laugh
