So I am planning on disabling start and pause for auto-start/stop mode. This has caused people problems.
Originally we had this for HR workouts and stuff but now I believe we can improve it. I have had users press pause then start working out and not noticing workout did not start for example putting app in the background and loosing a workout. With our setting Disable auto-pause which should be called “Disable Auto-Start/Stop when Power Meter or Trainer is Connected”
When I load a workout and start pedaling before hitting Start, auto‑start works as expected and the workout begins. But if I manually pause from the hold menu, then start pedaling again, it stays paused and does not auto‑resume – I hope this can be fixed.
It would also be great if Pause/Play could be triggered with the space bar.
Actually pressing pause disables auto start. Just don’t press it and stop pedaling instead of pressing pause. It should work fine.
We used to do it like you are suggesting but people had too many problems so it was better to disable auto start/pause when someone uses the buttons. Yes the desktop is new for us still and getting more and more popular so I love stuff like keyboard shortcuts so I will for sure do space bar, this is good idea.
Thanks. Right - so people and so many different ways to train. Maybe there should be one more checkbox in the settings. It’s actually a common situation when you’re training at home and suddenly get a call or need to stop temporarily. Being able to press the spacebar to pause and then resume the training just by continuing to spin would be helpful.
So what are the current keyboard shortcuts for the Windows version? I tried spacebar, but that didn’t do anything for play/pause. Is there a list of them somewhere?
I will add space for pause/start, really using a mobile app is best for controlling the desktop but I will also create a list I think it is only F and G for full screen options.
Before you start building out a system of shortcuts, might want to connect with the guys at BikeControl. To be compatible, I would imagine you would simply need to map your function/button names to theirs, and then we could all customize our keyboards/controllers to our heart’s content (at least for the main commands).
Great thought, I will definitely review before we implement.
