why did microsoft decided to use "ctrl+p" for windows media player as the pause/play button combination? like seriously... wtf. why the hell wouldnt u use space? why? im hella high. but seriously.. why? the best reason i can speculate is they wanted to be different.. which is a pretty stupidass reason when ur designing a piece of software... u usually want it to be easy use/include universally preacknowledged standards right? *end*
im surprised it doesn't want to print when you press ctrl+p but im on Leopard and spacebar is play/pause for me
I don't think I've ever noticed that, I'd just use the mouse if I had to pause something....but like ets ^^ I'm on a mac so I clearly have iTunes which is space. You should just use iTunes on your pc instead of wmp then you can press space like the rest of us
heh yeah.. i only use windows media player when i just downloaded a movie and i want to watch it real quick cuz its set as default for windows and it gets changed back to default everytime i update cuz im too retarded/lazy to uncheck the "use this as my default player boxes" i got a macbook too tho =] macs are only worth it if u get pros tho... i learned that a lil too late XD
I dont see why this is soooo crazy for some people to grasp ctrl+p... p meaning play/pause. Or try ALT+P+P If you wanna bitch about windows... lets bitch about how macs dont have a right mouse button, wtf is up with having to enable "secondary click" and then hold ctrl down with a mouse click to emulate right click?
Maybe because the space bar, let alone in key in general may be easily pressed by mistake causing mass pause/play confusion & national hysteria? Seriously, are you from 1995? I thought all keyboards have pause & play specific buttons on them...
If you don't like how developers try and make your lives easier, then make your own OS. BTW, If you get a normal mouse you don't have to use the ctrl button to right click.
man.. i dont get why ppl are flaming this so bad. it wuz an honest question while i wuz super high.. and yeah i get that p=pause/play.. its just that space is so much easier and its the standard for practically everything else. and for all of u ppl that decided to lump me in with the mac following i use my pc way more than my macbook and i like it a lot more because i built it myself and it runs a whole lot better... as for developing my own OS... calm down.. seriously u guys smoke weed? toke another bowl and chill. this is after all the "Chill Out Zone" i was expecting some chill answers -_____-;; i seriously wuz just wondering if anyone knew the real answer because i thought it would be interesting.
