I think so, I could add a shortcut action to pause Steem while you held it
down, then you could put it on any combination of keys/joystick
buttons/joystick directions or the middle mouse button. In fact, I think it
would work with the current slow motion shortcut action, that makes Steem
run at 10% speed while active. Give it a try and if it works I could add an
action to pause until a sysex message is received, that would mean you don't
have to guess when to stop slow motion.
Unfortunately all double/triple mouse clicks must be sent to the ST so you
wouldn't be able to put the shortcut on that, if you have a middle mouse
button that would work well (even though there is a bug in the MMB support
at the moment).
