Before executing the next wait swinger call wait for a SPACE or cancel with ESC

I implemented this as a prototype, but found that unfortunately, it almost always breaks the script under execution.... the problem is that any user interaction during an execution will necessarily have an effect on it.

For example, if the Automaton script clicks on a drop-box, then Automaton blocks to wait for the user to hit "space" before proceeding, for example, it does not seem to be possible to keep focus on the drop-box after the user hits "space", which would be necessary if the next action would be to select one of the options in it.

Will investigate if it's possible to get around this problem.

@PaulWinstone I found a way to make this work. See the README's "custom configuration" section to see how to enable interactive mode.

In Interactive mode, each Automaton action will wait for you to press any key before continuing. Look at the console output to see what action will be performed next.

Let me know if it worked for you.
