How to pause screen recorder macOS Mojave with a keystroke?
Mojave introduced a feature where I can press ⌘ CMD + SHIFT + 5 to bring up the screen capture application, which has a control widget at the bottom:
If I place the rectangle over the area I want to capture, then click Record; It begins to record, but to stop the recording I must press the previous key combination again then click to stop the recording.
Is there a way to pause the recording on the fly - prefereably using a keystroke with some visual feedback?
This would make it easier to avoid long pauses in the screen capture of a terminal or window, and prevent having to edit the video file later.
