There’s a nice option in Renoise which is known as “Play from cursor” (if you look under Global -> Transport). Unfortunately, that same key won’t also pause the song - it will only play it.
In other words, I want it to act like the space bar (which toggles between play/pause) but obviously for ‘continuing’ a song/block.
This feature won’t change anyone’s workflow and can be implemented in 5 minutes by the devs I reckon, but will really help (at least for me).
