It would be really useful if the unit/group info panel (on right side of the main form) did not consume the "spacebar event" and, instead, passed it on to the Main Form. So many, many times i pause the game (or a pop-up pauses the game) and i change some speed or depth or sensor info on the unit panel then click space to un-pause. But, the spacebar is consumed by the unit panel (with no effect except for clicking the control that i probably just mouse clicked) and does not un-pause the game. So i have to mouse click somewhere on map (most likely unselecting a unit I wanted to keep selected) then hit space to resume game.

The + and - keys are passed on through the info panel but, boy, would it be nice if the spacebar was too.

Yes please! or a global hook that intercepts the "space bar" event and uses it for pause/unpause ONLY.
