Runtime Hotkeys

When IDA Pro is running the IDAPython plugin responds to the following hotkeys:

Key	Function

Ctrl-F3	Execute Python statement(s)
Alt-F9	Run previously executed script again

Batch mode execution

Running scripts in batch mode for automated processing is done by starting IDA Pro with the following command line options:

 -A -OIDAPython:yourscript.py file_to_work_on.bin

-Syourscript.py

-S"yourscript.py arg1 arg2 arg3"

The Run script command doesn't work on OS X because this particular command globally focuses the first entry in the Dock.

I tried a million variations and could not find any way to successfully pass any arguments to the python script in Windows 7. My script path has spaces in it, so I'm not sure if that's part of the problem. How can it know if a space is part of the script path or delimiting between arguments.

Anyways, I just gave up and passed data in through environment variables instead.
