Reaper eating space bar?

Audio Plugins
1

I have a bit of a weird bug in Reaper.

In my plugin I allow users to save presets. And to do so they can enter a name of the preset into a JUCE TextEditor.

That is all working fine, except when the users enters the space character. Seems Reaper is using space in order to start/stop playback. And it intercepts pressing space and does not forward it to my plugin.

I guess, it is not the end of the world. My users can instead enter underline or similar, as a replacement for space.

But is there any way I can tell the DAW to forward ALL keystrokes? Including those which the DAW processes, such as space?

I am on Mac, using JUCE 7.0.12 and a Reaper build from August 2022.

Shift+Space will get the space press through to the plug-in usually.

In Reaper options you can enable “send all key presses”

Sorry for waking this thread up, but where exactly is this? (MacOS version…)

Ahh, thank you for that! I was looking in the Reaper/Settings (Preferences)…
