#10598: Myst and Riven: Space should skip cinematics, not pause
-------------------+----------------------------
Reporter:  mgiuca  |      Owner:  (none)
    Type:  defect  |     Status:  new
Priority:  normal  |  Component:  Engine: Mohawk
Keywords:          |       Game:  Riven
-------------------+----------------------------
 Version: 2.1.0git
 Games: Myst Masterpiece Edition (GOG version, June 2018), Riven (GOG
 version, June 2018)
 OS: Windows 10
 Type of bug: Departure from original game behaviour

 ScummVM port of both Myst and Riven has "Esc" to skip cinematics and
 "Space" to pause. Instead, "Space" should skip cinematics.

 * There is no need to ever pause Myst or Riven, and there wasn't a pause
 button in either of the original games.
 * In Riven (and the next two games in the series), Space skips cinematics.
 * Myst never had any key to skip cinematics, but if you're going to add
 it, it may as well be Space like the other games.

 Having to press Esc to cinematics is quite a departure from the control
 scheme we're all used to from Riven, Myst III and Myst IV.

 (Maybe Space-to-pause is a standard key shortcut in ScummVM so this can't
 be applied on the main tree, but should be applied as a patch in the Myst
 25th Anniversary release, since it's strange having this pause button in
 the official release.)
