When I need a function on my Harmony Hub remote, I just add a key by editing keys in the frontend and then assign that key to a button on the remote.  It's always been easy to do then except for the spacebar that is used to create a bookmark.  What I want to do is be able to stop and recorded playback and then start it back up later at the same place. Bookmarks seem to work if I'm using a keyboard, but I can't find a way to assign the spacebar to anything. And I can't find the bookmark function.  I know I'm missing something simple somewhere.

This works great for what I want. Simple to configure the FE. Thanks.

A lot to learn, but I think this is what I need.
