Is it possible to trigger start/pause timeline remotely ?

[jonathanb51952184]

Hi... I've been watching some tutorials but I still can't figure out whether it's possible to trigger remotely start/pause the timeline. It's kind of necessary for a live performance I'm planning. Thank you for your thoughts!

If you can remotely send a spacebar key event to Ch, it should play/pause the active scene/timeline.

There might be presentation remotes that can be configured to act like a bluetooth keyboard and send particular keystrokes, which would make it easier to hold for a performance.

Thank you for your reply! That is wonderful to know. Can you direct me to a tutorial or documentation that could help me implement that?

I didn't have one off hand, but found this when searching around: https://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/comments/10pc7zn/how_can_i_remap_a_wireless_presenter/

It depends a bit on what device you have/want, what OS your computer is running, etc.
