Reported by: Langbart Owned by: wraitii
Priority: If Time Permits Milestone: Alpha 24
Component: UI – In-game Keywords: macOS hotkey
Cc: Patch: ​Phab:D3435

Description (last modified by Langbart)

The pause hotkey is pause, which does not exist on a standard MacBook keyboard. The user has to change the default hotkey or he can pause the game only by clicking the "Menu" option.

Default hotkey to pause the game in other games:

  • Factorio: shift+space
  • Age of Empires DE: F3
  • Civilization VI: P (Online Pause)

In 24743:

Add Shift+Space as an alternative Pause hotkey

Mac keyboards have no "Pause" button. As an alternative, introduce 'Shift+Space' (used in Factorio).
P is already used for Patrol.
