shortcut to pause game

What ?

Pausing the game with an shortcut in singleplayer and multiplayer

The shortcut "Shift + Spacebar" or "pause-button" pauses the game in Singleplayer. afaik its a debug function.
(in multiplayer that does not work)

It would be really nice if thats an intended function in singleplayer and multiplayer.

Why ?

Because it would be a really nice feature to have, just having to hit my pause button on my keyboard when I am returning to the game from another task or when I get something to eat, without having to search the cursor.

Well, using the ESC key works that way, doesn't it?

Yes, but only in singleplayer, in multiplayer you have to go into the ESC menue and then click on Pause.

It would just be a nice to have.

Maybe I am missing something, but I think other people in the game might want to continue playing when you go AFK?

Macro the command to set game speed to 0?

or if not 0, really really slow.

Makes sense if you play with 2 or 3 players.
Doesn't make any sense with 10 or more.
