 Could you make a tutorial to explain how to make it? it would be great.

You'd have to ask the ever-wonderful @DusX as I am afraid of snakes*

*I do not know Python

Pythoner actor to perform the keyboard shortcut

At the moment you can't do it with actors* 

*Note you could pause the engine using a Pythoner actor to perform the keyboard shortcut for you, but then it won't be able to un-pause the engine because it's an actor and actors don't operate while the engine is paused.

What I'd do is put a Comment in the Control Panel listing the Keyboard Shortcut for yourself or your operator:

Pause Engine/Unpause Engine on macOS = Cmd+Shift+P

Pause/Unpause Engine on Windows = Ctrl+Shift+P
