Hey! Adobe! My keyboard has a pause key.

And I'll bet yours does too.  Look at it.  Every PC keyboard has a 'pause' key and since they are now just PCs running a Unix clone with a bunch of proprietary crap on top, so do Macs. 

So, Adobe programmers, since you make video playing software, don't you think that maybe, you should have put the said key to use.  You'd think that people might want to occasionally pause a video they are watching.  You'd think that it would be convenient to do so by simply pressing a key labeled as such and that pretty much goes unused by other programs.  But NoooOOOoooo!  You had to leave it to us to grope for the mouse (or whatever), jiggle it to find the cursor, navigate it to the right place, and then click on the little picture of a stereo control.  You're now on the List.
