>> First off: Thanks to MC for fixing the recently reported conflict between space-bar as white char vs. Play/Pause accelerator key! You found the smartest solution:

Now a space is supported as long as it's not the first character in the search string

However, since one poster had mentioned the option to use a custom 'Resource.xml' file, I had created one and edited so as to translate the space bar into Play/Pause 'in fullscreen only' (flag '8'), but to no avail... only when I made the same edit to the default 'resource.xml' would the space bar have the desired effect, 'white char in all contexts but fullscreen video'.
Is that just me, or a deprecated feature no longer supported in MC?

Edit: Just checked, and the custom command 'Ctrl+7' for 'calc.exe' is still working...
So maybe I did sth wrong in my 'space bar' command? Here's my custom resource.xml content for review -- the relevant line is <Entry Key="Space" Command="10000" Param="-1" TranslateFlags="8" />:

Code: [Select]
