Description
Problem
Rapid access to playback is one of the most essential editing operations, since it is the most common thing an editor is doing on the Timeline.
Currently, the user needs to move their mouse to one of two very small click areas. Once this is added, I expect most users will use space for playback.
Solution
Spacebarshould trigger playback.- ‼️ The only exception is if there are text inputs currently selected. Then space should do normal space activity (e.g. when Text layer content input is selected)
Alternative
None considered. This seems essential and space is the ubiquitous shortcut across editing platforms
