plugs in foreground..
I noticed I have several plugins but not all of them..that when they are in foreground and you hit space bar Reaper won't play or stop till you click Reaper to make it in focus again..
But I'd say most of my plugs don't do that.. but like IK sunset sound plug does it.
the SSL channel V2 and their 4KB does it several other new plugs.. but all my Wavess, UAD , Fab Filter etc don't.
I guess that's the manufactures fault?
I'm on M1 Mac Studio Max. last OS not the newest.

Any chance those plugins run bridged?
The SSL ones should work OK since they‘re M1 native now.
Otherwise, try to set your keyboard-shortcuts to „Global“.

Nope not bridged, and yep You'd think works with M1 and all that would mean it doesn't do what I'm saying but it does. So the SSL latest version works fine other then when it's on my screen you can't hit spacebar if it's in focus. I either hit my XTouch transport or I hit Reaper to make it in focus again then I can hit spacebar.
Like I said it's other plugins too but not all. I need to try make a list.
Been sick last few days so little behind on mixing I'm supposed to be doing.. But I should put a note pad next to me and when it happens wright down which plugs do it.

That's weird, can't reproduce it. Just checked with 4K B and Channel Strip 2. Spacebar works with both when in foreground.
Hope you'll find the culprit!

Yeah this is bugging me now.. I looked through preferences and I can't find anything that would do this.
It does it with Sonnox native too. This is strange never had this happen when I was on PC.

Something else I just noticed maybe a better Mac person can help since I'm new back to Mac after like 15yrs on PC.
But when I'm in Reaper at the top window we see the normal Apple logo Reaper name and all the sub menus.. but when I click some plugins to tweak then that top area switches says Reaper then FX and Edit that's it.. so it's like it's taking me out of Reaper focus I'm sure that's why keyboard won't work then but why is that happening?
Edit: Crap.. never mind even when I click other plugs like SuperMassive it switches that top menu but that plugin will still allow Reaper and keyboard to work while plugin in in focus. still just some other won't I don't get it.

Right click plugin in FX browser. Choose Default settings for new instances and see if "Send all keyboard input to plugin" is checked. If yes, uncheck it.

I noticed when I did a test on my mac air haven't tried on my Mac Studio since I don't have Reaper using AU on the Studio.. but on my laptop I tried the SSL Channel strip 2 in AU mode and the plugs don't block Reaper. But when I try VST3 like I use on my Mac Studio then same thing happens on Mac air I can't hit spacebar unless I click in Reaper to take plugin out of focus..

It really sounds like you are running them bridged...

I installed them normally.. I thought at least on my PC days back running more 32bit if I bridged I would have had to right click and select it wouldn't I? Been a while..
But here on this Mac I installed AU and VST3 but I really only use VST3 plugs..
I looked around in menus and FX browser I don't see any bridge stuff.
Here's another thing I just noticed.. I just put an SSL4KB plug and that new Waves BB plug and Soothe on a channel to test. The Soothe and BB work fine if in foreground I can still work reaper from spacebar.. But if I open 4kB from the mixer so plugin opens by it self. I can't control Reaper from keyboard.. But I just noticed if I open the FX Chain then select 4KB Reaper works with keyboard. So as long as it's in that FX frame it works.. but as soon as it's floating on it's on it's like the Mac lets go of Reaper. Same blip Mac noise you hear in other programs when you click outside of an area.

I am not talking abount 32bit, but that you are probably running the Intel version on your Apple Silicon mac, which in the case of VST(2or3) has to be bridged, but in case of AU is bridged by MacOS.

Actually in Activity Mon the very last line says Reaper_host_x86_64 and it's listed Intel.
But up at the top Reaper is listed with the Reaper icon and says Apple.

Which is what happens when you have an intel plugin loaded, this is the reason for your issue.

Yeah but like I said above.. when I'm on say my mac air laptop.. and open Reaper and just load the SSL 4kB which is M1 approved..
and if it's on my screen single channel not even audio and I hit spacebar on my laptop Reaper won't play. Soon as I click in Reaper to make it focused then it plays when I hit spacebar..
So if the SSL I installed are running bridged and I don't know it how do I fix that?
Also I just tested on my Mac Studio empty session.. Now when I load Reaper and blue icon pops in try that says Reaper_Host_X86_64 but activity mon still says Reaper Apple. Now if I load a single track with SSL 4KB the Activity Mon doesn't show an Intel.. but if I say like IK's Sunset sound then that blue Reaper Icon in the dock bounces then in Activity Mon I'll see a Reaper_host show up saying Intel.. So I can't assume that's a bridged plugin.
But the SSL still doesn't show that and when I click about Reaper at top says arm64.. So the whole keyboard focused thing could be a bridged think if it happened on only those plugs.. But it's mainly happening on the SSL since I use more of them across session but they are showing up Apple/Arm. Confused..

This is not an M1 issue. Same thing has happened on my Macs forever. I've learned to live with it, but mostly use a control surface that plays not matter what is focused.
