Is there a hot key where I can break from a sleep. After I break from the sleep, is it possible to detect the break from the hot key and do a GOTO to another section of the code?

```auto
Start-Sleep -Seconds $IntervalInSeconds

```

Yes : `<Ctrl>+<c>`

I’d say “no” … but you may try if this helps:

Just the way I want it. slight_smile
