Hi! Trying to bind my space bar to play, because thats what it was on my older copy of Animate. Whenever I try to remap it, if i hit space it brings up the hand tool over the window. same with ctrl + space, just brings up the zoom tool. Again, this is over the window. even if i bind the hand tool to something else it just forces it back to the space bar. Any way around this? autohotkey doesnt seem to work with adobe animate 2020

Can anyone explain why (since keyboard shortcuts are supposed to be user-assignable) you can't re-map the space bar for start/stop if you prefer? It's very annoying to overcome the muscle memory that develops after working with After Effects (where the space bar controls start /stop beautifully). Is there a way to make this a feature request, please!?

Play/Stop has always been on Enter (NumPad Enter as well).

Space Bar has always been temporary access to Hand tool.

Ctrl+Space has always been temporary access Zoom tool.

Ctrl temporarily switches to Selection tool, and so on.

 

These cannot be changed. They are hard-coded.
