I've look in the help file and online with no answers to my question.
can NSIS wait till certain keys are held down to continue executing? (ex: CTRL+E)

To my knowledge NSIS does not have any sort of hotkey or keypress support. You'll want something like AutoIt or AutoHotKey. Unless someone has written a plugin for NSIS to handle this function...
I mean, we can rename titles, move windows, create Mutexes, set enviroment variables, etc. All we need is the system plugin.
Anyway, a current method of doing so is to make a temp shortcut with the hotkey, then terminate the program. Then the second program will be activated by the hotkey shortcut.
@Wraithdu or Haustin: any of you have the AHK code that handles hotkeys?
