Hey F1308, thanks a lot for the help! I've got your script to run and it works perfectly, now I'll try to streamline it a bit more for my purposes (for example removing the dialog boxes which you have to click away). I'm totally new to scripting, but I'll try to make a script which will, upon starting it with a custom 'Play' shortcut: 1) run your 'get cursor position' code part 2) run action: play - now the user can pause/unpause the playback to his heart's content - 3) when a custom 'Stop' shortcut is pressed: 4) run action: stop 5) run your 'reset cursor to stored location' code part I'll let you know how it goes!
