some questions:
» what version of sd3 are you running? make sure it’s the latest (3.1.2)
» in Setting/General, have you enabled Keyboard Shortcuts? Try to toggle that option to see if there’s any difference

Hi Henrik
Thanks for the quick response – i also just viewed the release notes for latest updat, where it specifically says :
“Shift+Space now works in DAWs to start/stop song track or tracker playback (if keyboard shortcuts are enabled in Settings).”

i can however start and stop SD3 by itself – using shift+space. (can this be changed to just “space”?)
but unfortunatly it does not send the startstop to Reaper.
i am running the latest version and tried toggeling with the keyboard shortcuts but it didnt work.
any other suggestions?
Thanks
Shlomo

Are you using Windows or Mac?
Can you check your version of Reaper so we can try to reproduce why you can’t use space when SD3 is in focus…

Reaper has an option “Send all keyboard input to plug-in” in the FX menu when a plug-in is selected in the FX window. In the version I tried, when that option is on, keyboard shortcuts in SD3 work but nothing goes through to the host (for example space). When it’s off, space works but shortcuts in SD3 don’t.

i tried toggling with the options mentioned but it did not change the situation. it did not allow me to stop the DAW, it only stopped receiving the “shift+space” to stop SD3.

This is an old post but I still have this same problem in the latest versions of Reaper and SD3 (MacBook Pro M1).

If I enable “send all keyboard input to plug-in” in Reaper, then keyboard shortcuts work in SD3, but shift+space only starts audio in SD3, not reaper.

If I disable “send all keyboard input to plug-in”, then space works to start everything, but now no keyboard shortcuts work in SD3. E.g. cmd+z goes back in reaper history, but not back in SD3 history. Cmd+c, and cmd+v can’t be used for copy paste in SD3, etc.

This is incredibly annoying. Is there any fix for this? I have seen this issue for a very long time.

Hi Jesse,

if you hit spacebar when “send all keyboard input to plug-in” is enabled, does this not play the timeline in Reaper?

BR,

Thanks for the reply, John. No, because when “send all keyboard input to plug-in” is enabled, the space bar gets sent to the plugin and not to Reaper. So nothing happens when I click the space bar, other than my computer making an audible beep, seemingly to indicate that it is an invalid input.
