Media shortcut(s) not working on Mac #416

Our student assistant has a Mac (will ask for details if needed) and a freshly installed Exmaralda, and the playback shortcut doesn't work for her (Ctrl+Space, also tried Cmd+Space). (related to #113)

Yes, need details, at least the OS version. In any case, shortcuts are sometimes overriden by the machine's configuration, so the only way to tackle this is probably through configurable short-cuts via #113

I guess it should be "Cmd + Space" on the MAC, but that seems to be reserved by the system for Spotlight:

Command–Space bar: Show or hide the Spotlight search field. To perform a Spotlight search from a Finder window, press Command–Option–Space bar. (If you use multiple input sources to type in different languages, these shortcuts change input sources instead of showing Spotlight. Learn how to change a conflicting keyboard shortcut.)

Yes, there was some Spotlight window appearing

So is the current way to change shortcuts on the Mac, not in PE?

If you need a quick fix, yes.
