Some time ago someone gave me a tip how to map Space key to Play/Pause using Resource.xml file. The problem is that Resource.xml is a part of the MC install so it is overwritten during upgrades. Is it possible to have separate file for such hacks somewhere in %APPDATA% ?

I think I found the post you were referring to but I don't see a clear explanation of how to get the space to control Play/Pause. How did you do it?

To answer your question: in that thread Marko stated:

If you create a new folder in \Data\ called \Custom Resources\ and saved your modified resource.xml file in there, MC will always use the 'custom' file, and it won't get replaced when you reinstall/upgrade.

This is part of Resouce.xml file I added:

Code: [Select]

<!-- Playback engine shortcuts (shared) -->
        <Entry Key="Space" Command="10000" Param="0" TranslateFlags="1" />

It should be placed in <ACCELERATORS></ACCELERATORS> section. The key thing is TranslateFlags="1" parameter which allow You to enter space character when editing some text.

I think it isn't good idea. User setting should go somewhere under %APPDATA%
