Hi,


The fastest way to pause a recording (including screen recording) is: While recording press Esc to show recording bar. Then press Option Space to pause/unpause. If you have a MacBook Pro with TouchBar, touching the Option key at any window will replace the STOP button on TouchBar with a nice PAUSE button.
