The big   Pause   key under the main executor is locked to this executor. It will perform a pause on the running fades and effects on the main executor. The function can't be changed.

You can resume the fade and effects again by pressing the   Pause   key once more. 

   Go-    will fade back to the previous cue.

   Go+    will begin a fade to the next cue.

The actual command run by the   Pause   key is called DefGoPause.

Don't mistake this with the small Pause key in the command keys section. Read about that one [here](/dot2/key_key_pause/).
