Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Going insane trying to find the keyboard shortcut for play/pause.
I can make one for Play. But that only makes it start playing. Hitting it again won't stop it.
Didn't even find a Stop keyboard shortcut. That would have worked.

Anyone else have problem with this? Am I missing something?

When you play animation, hit the space bar to pause it and hit the space bar again to continue the playback where you stopped it.

OK, sure. That works. Thanks.

If I assign Shift + Spacebar to Preview: Play. And Spacebar used for toggle afterwards.

Is there a reason why Spacebar doesn't work for Play at first?

The Spacebar shortcut is assigned to make a right click (fir Mac users who don't have a right button on their mouse).

The other reason is : when you play (by hitting the button play), you start from the beginning (or from your mark in). When hitting the space bar, you continue where you paused the playback.

I use two types of play;
Key: Preview: Play From Current Image
Space Preview: Play

Don't you use the flipbook play ( default shotcut [w] ) ?

Must say I'm surprised how active this forum is!

That's awesome.

Thank you for your kind words
