My reflex reaction to pause something quickly is to hit the space bar… probably because I play Rimworld and other strategy games like that. I can’t find any hotkey to pause the game, and the Space bar doesn’t see to do anything other than when you’re typing names.
Any chance we could get a pause hotkey added, or perhaps use 1,2,3 for the game speeds?
I would love this so much. I find myself doing the same thing.
I would love space-bar pause as well.
Another vote for this!
voted… i even find myself accidentally pressing it every now and then 
I also think this would be a great idea.

My FTL trained thumb is ready for the space key pause!111!1
+1
Got used at using spacebar from playing Cities: Skylines. Alternatively, Numpad 0 like in Sims (though would be an issue for people that don’t have numpads).
also, 0-1-2-3 for speeds.
Absolutely +1 for me. I find myself doing this all the time.
I find myself doing this on accident all the time or pressing one to slowest or three for fastest like a certain City Simulator game.
I do this constantly. I cast my vote for this.
