How to stop a long running script?

[testup1134]

So I have some scripting that automates a number of pre-press tasks and occasionally the artwork is very complex which ends up bogging down the scripts. I would like to be able to cancel the script while its running but I havent figured out a way to interupt it.

Is there an interupt key combo I can press to stop a running script?

It seems that the contents that appeared in the InDesign community in the past can be diverted.

The escape key will stop the script.
In the case of Illustrator, you can get to the end by using loops or functions well.

var doc = app.documents.add();
var tf = doc.textFrames.add();
tf.top = 800;
tf.textRange.pointSize = "2pt";

while (ScriptUI.environment.keyboardState.keyName != "Escape") {
    tf.textRange.contents += "press esc key to stop the script.\r";
    app.redraw();
}
