Default is there a way to make exceptions to "pass all keyboard input to plugin" ?

Hi! in some plugins i like to send the keyboard input but i wonder if i can have exceptions. Example: in my use case space which plays and stops; I would like that reaper still plays and stops and so don't send this keyboard input to plugin.

Any way to achieve this?

Thank you!

We tried Melodyne ARA yesterday and immediately found this to be an issue when auditioning material.

This drives me mad to be honest. Can we just get this sorted once and for all. Who's fault is this behaviour? Reapers, or the plugins?

I am finding an increasing number of synths where you can't type text into because of this, then when you switch "Send all keyboard input to plug-in" the space bar doesn't work anymore.

Can we get this sorted this year please?!

The only way around this that I have found is with some sort of external transport. I have a daw controller app on my ipad that I never use that works for this.

Imagine now if this setting were stuck on or off depending on the plugin. That's what's happening in Reaper for Linux:

"Global" shortcuts bypass plugins and go directly to REAPER's main window.

In the Actions window, delete the current shortcut and then re-assign it, but select "global" or "global+text" in the dropdown list.

Plain global shortcuts can still be typed in plugins' text fields, whereas global+text will bypass even text fields.

In my case changing to Global didn't help. I specified that in the bug report that I linked.
