Is there a hotkey for play / stop?

As the title says, Is there a hotkey for play / stop? It`s a bit cumbersome with the mouse. A hotkey would be much more userfriendly to start/stop your game while testing :slight_smile:

What??

Ctrl+Shift Allright I can do that with my left hand… but P???

How Im supposed to fast play and stop while keeping my right hand in the mouse??, this really interrupts the workflow =/

It really isn’t an issue to keep your right hand on the mouse then use your left hand to hold the right Ctrl button and push P. I do agree however it would improve the workflow had it been a button closer to the left but I get why they used P which would be for Play.

This one works, custom key for entering playmode:

If you are on Window, you can AutoHotkey to remap this hotkey when Unity window is active. (on Linux something like xmodmap may work)

Something like this for Shift+X

#Hotstring * ?
SetTitleMatchMode, 1
#If (WinActive("Unity"))

+x::SendInput ^p

It is Ctrl + P
You can set a custom ket by going to Windows - goto Edit → Shortcuts for Unity 2019

It Really Is an issue when your testing VR…
I don’t see ANY reason why ‘P’ couldn’t also stop as well… Play/Stop toggle would be nice…
