Default Stop cursor like in Cubase

I’m trying to set up stop function same as in Cubase.

I did this Cycle action, see the image: https://postimg.org/image/646gy4pa1/

I want to assign a shortcut key to an action which will stop the cursor at the current position and on second hit, it will go to previous position. The cycle action works almost in that way I want. The only problem is if I hit play before going back to previous position then I have to hit stop two times to make it stop. Thank you in advance for any suggestion.

What about:

If playing:
--move edit cursor to play cursor
--stop
if not playing:
--undo edit cursor move (an SWS action)

Thank you FnA and sorry for my late reply. I didn’t really get it. Should I add your recommended action to my Cycle action? Can you specify it?

It would probably work to make a new action consisting of those actions; but if you kept hitting stop, it would keep undoing the cursor to its previous locations, to a limit. May not be desirable.

In times past getting the cursor to behave like Pause prompted various users to suggest to make a custom action:
--move edit cursor to play cursor
--stop

Stop and Pause have different characteristics for reverb tails, etc. So either one might be desirable to you. The combo above, or:
--Pause
--Stop

The following works, if I understand you right, but it might be better to put the Save Edit Cursor Slot 1 action in with your Play Button action, in case you do edits after hitting Play that move the cursor. (This gets the position at the time of pressing Stop.) Unless you want that.

Glad to hear it. No problem, I also picked up a new idea for myself from seeing the Pause/Stop procedure.
