transport question

hi all, is it possible to make the keycommands for the transport to overrule window focus? i.e. i`m in the docker, having the fx chain open, i`m screwing knobs of a plugin. now, whenever i`d like to start/stop the playback, i have to focus the main arrangement window first ... (the only thing that works is the spacebar, but that doesn`t "stop" the playback, rather pauses it) ... i have "num enter" set up for play, and "num 0" for stop. those don`t work, if i focuss another window ... that`s really annoying ... i`d like to make the transport keycommands to work no matter what window i`m focussed ... is that possible?

Hmmm... I am using a 3 switch foot-stomp pedal soldered to a USB-gamepad and assigned to play/stop/record and it works all the time...

In your actions list you saved it under the "Main" drop down category right? Also, try using the regular enter key. That is suppose to play/stop whereas the spacebar is play/pause.
