WinEdt hang up while executing a macro, have I to kill the program using the Task Manager?

Instead of using the Task Manager to kill WinEdt when it is executing a macro code that is too slow or possibly contains an infinite loop, the following applies: Press and hold the keys Shift-ESC until the status line displays a message Canceled!!!. You may have to do this a few times to exit nested loops, but in principle it is possible to cancel all such actions using this shortcut.
