Is there any way to clear a command that has been #WAIT'ed?

EX:
-----------
#WAIT 10000
SAY HI
-----------

What if I want to abort the command SAY HI five seconds into the wait?

I don't think its possible, you should try using a alarm instead, then you can delete the alarm if you want to stop it.

#alarm +10 {say hi}

#ABORT 1

I find the escape key clears a wait in progress.

Is there a way to detect an escape key press so that triggers can be stopped in flight?

Ok, next question:
I'd considered using #ALARM but I couldn't get it to work any differently than #WAIT

Can someone please give me a complete example? Talahaski says to delete the alarm, but I don't know how to do that. LightBulb says to use #ABORT 1, but I didn't get the results I need, unless I have the context wrong.

To delete an alarm, use the #untrigger command.

Perhaps you could give us a complete example? Maybe some details on the results you want? How you intend to use it?

I took your example and pasted it to my command line.
#WAIT 10000
SAY HI
Sure enough, after about 10 seconds I got
SAY HI

Then I did that again
#WAIT 10000
SAY HI
But this time, after hitting Enter I typed in
#ABORT 1
This probably took me 2-3 seconds, but certainly far less than 10. After waiting about 20 seconds, there was still no further output. This sounds like exactly what you asked for, a way to abort the command SAY HI several seconds into the wait.

Thanks, that worked. I don't know why I had a problem when I first tried it, but it works fine now.

Thanks again!
