Creating a software killswitch in order to stop a loop that is running too fast to stop from IDE in Micropython

I am having some trouble with a code that I've written in MicroPython, for a Raspberry Pi Pico. I don't have any hardware killswitch installed, so I want to do that from a software implementation since I can't press the STOP button from Thonny, as the loop is running way too fast. The only way I can stop the program is by disconnecting the Raspberry from my computer, then disconnecting the gyroscope then plugging it again. And since I have to tune some parameters, this action takes a lot of time. Do you think you could help me with a simple killswitch that can kill my program by pressing a key on my keyboard or something?

I tried to spam stop button but it still wouldn't work. This is the loop I'm fighting:

def main():
    #time.sleep(5)
    H_bridge.init_motor_data()
    mpu6050.configure_mpu()
    #adxl345.configure_adxl()
    get_offsets()
    
    general_timer.init_general_timer(pid_control)

    while True:
            pass 
        
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
