Playhead Auto Resume After Moving.

Question

So I was wondering if there is anyway to get Premiere Pro's play head to auto resume whenever it is moved. Like I am playing back my timeline then I click somewhere on the timeline to put the play head there and instead of just moving and stopping at that position, it should resume automatically without the need for pressing the space bar again. I have seen this in FCPX and is a very useful feature. I am getting tired of pressing the space bar key every couple seconds and it really slows me down too. So is there anyway to enable it?
If not, can this be feature requested somewhere?

As per my knowledge it is not possible in Premiere pro till date..You can make a feature request - Feature Request/Bug Report Form

No, it really shouldn't. Premiere Pro correctly assumes the editor knows what he's doing. So if you move the playhead manually, it's because you want it there. To automatically resume playback would override the editor's will, making assumptions that aren't always true.

In other words, Premiere Pro does what you tell it to. If you want it to resume playback, you need to tell it by hitting that spacebar.
