Enter and Pause for Play and Stop

I am really have a hard time having two keys for Playing (Space) and Pausing (Enter). Does anybody know if you can assign one key to both functions?

Example: the first time to you press spacebar the video begins to play. The second time to press spacebar the video pauses. And so on...

Thanks!

I can't find an option for this, sorry. Vegas lets you swap the pause/stop functions so that space pauses and enter stops. Movie Studio doesn't have this option.

too bad - it is driving me crazy! Is it bugging anyone else? I may have a solution...

It would be really handy if the enter key could start playback as well as pause.

I purchased it at Compusa and configured it for SB. Turn the dial left or right to scoll through the timeline. Click and hold for 1/2 second to play. Click again to pause. Click and turn left/right and zoom in/out in the timeline.

Highly configurable! So far an excellent addition! Looks cool too...

I just purchased a Contour Shuttle Pro V2. A bit more expensive than the Griffin Technology product, $119.00 was the best price I found. All of the buttons are programmable. MF does also support the Shuttle pro with a file which programs standard button operations.

I really love this device. You can do almost anything without even touching the keyboard or mouse.
