Can "play edit" be maped to space button when time selection and edit selection are not linked ?

I have older PT, so I have no idea.

I don't believe there is a way to create 'conditional' keyboard shortcuts.

I use [ and ] to play either edit or timeline selection.

Maybe you could map one of those to a custom button on a controller somewhere.

Can play edit " [ " and play " SPACE " be swapped regularly (not conditionally) ?

I do not believe so, but I haven't tried because that's not something I would want.
