Hi David

I suppose if you do a lot of titling and text stuff you would prefer things as they are – but for me that’s a tiny fraction of my time spent on Vegas –

so for me the spacebar as a global start key is much better – I feel much less irritated now!

If you are used to using F12 then fine – but as a musician I mainly use Cubase – and always use the spacebar for start / stop – so it’s hard to break the habit

in fact the re-mapper program I mentioned can easily be turned off when you need to do text etc

actually that little program could be extremely useful for anybody wishing to improve their work environment – it also does macros and other stuff – very good

best regards

Hi Matt

you got me thinking on the right lines

I downloaded this little gem

https://download.cnet.com/Keyboard-Remapper/3000-2094_4-10724534.html

and then just remapped the spacebar to F12

job done – huurrrahhh

Yes Steve – just double checked – there is no way to make the spacebar a global start key – ctrl space and F12 both work fine – but not the spacebar (the one surely everybody wants!)

I’ve thought of a novel workaround – which is to make Alt + space another global shortcut key – and tape the keys together on the keyboard

I still can’t believe that no-one else is bothered by this – how do other people work?

best regards

Mick

PS: I am also unable to add some other kbd shortcuts – eg: make the keypad +/- keys work like the PageUp/Down keys – the changes are accepted but just don’t work

Thanks for your response Steve

but I’m pretty sure that only works with certain keys

will try again later and come back

regards

Mick
