My Space Bar does not play/stop in Primere 2026.

    Correct answer PaulMurphy

    It's possible another application is intercepting the shortcut. Can you check your keyboard shortcuts and confirm the spacebar is mapped to Play-Stop-Toggle. If it is, does play-stop still work when you press L and K?

    Hey Kenny, sorry for the issue with the keyboard shortcuts. One other good suggestion could be to reset your preferences. It usually knocks loose any weird behavior like this. Here's an article on how to do it:https://adobe.ly/3RRgjDa


    Let us know if any of these suggestions help.
