[Bf-cycles] Fwd: Viewport render keyboard shortcut + minor Cycles viewport interface consideration

[David Black]

Thanks Brecht for your reply and keyboard shortcut implementation,

Sounds logical, look forward to trying the viewport render key combination!

In connection with moving the pause button technical limitation. Been 
having a think plus trying some PS mock-ups. Instead of moving the pause 
button, would modifying the existing 'Viewport Shading' button with a 
pause option (split the button) during viewport render overcome that 
limitation, see mock-up image (link)? In the same way active 
proportional editing opens an attached set of options next to it's 
button and the rest of interface automatically adjusts position.

Personally, I find the combined button look quite aesthetically pleasing. :)

Apologies if the above is a daft idea
David
