Support, It's useful for Scratchers that don't know how to do complex code.

No support, it will discourage using more complex programming, this is like asking for a “Multiplayer” set of blocks. It can be worked around with more complex programming.

Scratch Team always rejected suggestions that encourage complex programming.

This is not going to take time for scratch team.

Supported, this was in older versions of Scratch.
If the scratch team thinks that this discourages complex programming:
you can make it a tool only the project-developer can use

I think you can pause the project by minimizing the browser I think.

That's not true. The Scratch Team is pretty much neutral to suggestions which encourage complex programming. It's more a matter of whether or not it can be implemented in a way which is as easy to understand as possible, and whether or not it is actually that useful.

Support. A pause button is for more than games, and the ones that you can program in scratch are unreliable in certain situations. I have a browser extension that adds a pause button and it has come very handy for debugging.

Hey guys I would also like a pause button I found one on turbowarp. Without it stopping the project when you’re afk and you’re gonna get back on is not only worthless, it’s actually also making you lose your progress. Without a pause button, pressing stop will make you unable to go back.

Yes, we know that already but we want to make sure Scratch is also easy for beginners, so the Scratch Community should have one.

Semi-Support.

Quite easy to make, but this would help a lot. What if you're playing something like Geometry Dash, and you need to go to the toilet, and your on the rocket ship? Based on a true story…
