I believe that OP is aware of Space key shortcut for Play/Stop. And I think he has valid request because of his personal workflow (but also many others). Maybe it does serve him better and more productively than with that key.

Also, try to imagine if he or someone is one-handed. What about then?

I personally use transport buttons 95% of the time because I do use my left hand for something else while using Reaper. ;-) I mean like playing the MIDI keyboard or holding a fader with left hand, while everything on screen controlling with a mouse using a right hand (yes, I am right-handed).

And yes I hate the "REC, PLAY ..... stop" buttons order and arrangement in new Default 6 theme, too.
