Thanks to all who have responded!
Len, your idea would actually be a great way if I was at all inclined
to solder, but, being blind, I rather like my fingertips as they are.
Milan, I think your answer takes the prise!
I think that app, plus jackctlmmc might just do the trick!
Thanks!

Hi.
It is morning for me now, and I see so many words, I don't know. But maybe
this helps:
I have bought a very simple and cheap foot pedal for USB (search for usb
pedal in www.dx.com) and there are actually three pedals, so it works as
three keyboard keys. I can map these keys using a very simple utility - I
have a link somewhere.. it is called "footswitch" - oh, here is the link:
https://github.com/rgerganov/*footswitch

*Hope it helps. Cheers!

Btw. another issue might be that the OP perhaps
wants one foot switch
to
start and stop, but the quasi default is that there are different
switches/commands for start and stop and stop might provide an option
to
continue playing from the start position.
Space is pretty much default for start/pause. (works in qjackctl and
jack.transport anyway) Jack.transport seems to have the easiest batch of
one key commands to use:
"s : Start and stop transport. Aliased to [space].
l : Locate to entered time. Starting to type a number will also enter
locate mode.
i: Set skip increment to entered interval.
z : Locate to start (zero).
r : Erase and refresh screen.
: Skip forwards. Aliased to . and [right-arrow].
< : Skip backwards. Aliased to , and [left-arrow]."
So looking at other programs where a foot switch might be handy and
trying
to fit more than one might be an idea. space and left and right arrow
happen to be very common (space is used in unix all over the place). z is
the odd one out.
