A little bit OT, but indeed, it's important to keep this in mind,
another issue is that Linux tends to fail for some short cuts, e.g. if
you set up that the Windows or Alt key should do something, than it
could be an issue for combinations of those keys + at least one other
key.  However, IIUC the OP has set up a key for pause and if the OP
pushes that key the playing is paused, but by pushing it again, playing
doesn't continue. That isn't a bug, but one of two fundamental
attitudes. One attitude is that the pause key does toggle between pause
and playing and the other is, that pause, just pause playing and to
continue there's the need to push play instead. I suspect that the OP
needs to send a feature request to upstream.
