On Mac, I want to be able to play / pause using the space bar (macos/iPad keyboard support)

Play/Stop with spacebar
Pietro Galvani
A keyboard shortcut using the spacebar to start and stop playback would greatly improve workflow speed.
This is a very standard behavior in most audio, DAW and notation software, and would make Beat Note feel much more natural during long writing sessions.

Released today in v5.2! 🎉
Also included based on user feedback:
- Up and Right Arrow keys increase tempo by 1 BPM.
- Down and Left Arrow keys decrease tempo by 1 BPM.
- Hold Shift while using arrow keys to jump tempo by ±10 BPM, matching the existing long-press button behavior.
- Both vertical and horizontal arrow directions are supported so tempo adjustments feel natural regardless of which keys you prefer to use.
If this enhancement was helpful for you, please leave a comment below to let me know.
And if this was helpful, and you haven't already done so, please consider leaving a review on the App Store. This is one of the most impactful ways to help support continued development of Beat Note. (In the app tap the Settings Tab -> Rate Beat Note). Thank you!! 🙏🏻

I'm starting to use app more on my Mac during drum lessons, but not having space bar work for start/stop throws me off so much, as everything else I start with it. Can't wait till this update comes, please hurry : )

And also return at the beginning with the "Enter" key would be great.
