Is there a keyboard shortcut for "pause" and "resume"?

[Finkler]

I searched carefully but could not find such a shortcut. Is there a keyboard shortcut for "pause" and "resume" on the LabVIEW window?

If its for debugging purpose, use Breakpoints..

It is not for debugging purposes.

Hi Finkler,

so then you should explain what you're talking about!

Which "pause" and "resume" do you mean?

[Finkler]

I run a VI by pressing the "Run" button (or Ctrl-R). After some time (nevermind why) I need to pause the VI. I typically do that by pressing the "Pause" button. Since I'm running this remotely from another computer, I would like to be able to press this button using a keyboard shortcut. Afterwards, I press the "Pause" button again to resume the VI.

Hi Finkler,

so you are using a debugging feature! And no, there seems to be no shortcut key assigned.

When you need a VI with the ability to "pause" you should learn about state machines. They are a common scheme to incorporate such "states" as "running" or "paused" in a VI (or program in general)...
