Suggestion: make the / key function as a pause toggle by setting the simulation speed to 0 if it's currently at 1.
This would allow the / key to double as a "return to realtime" key (the current behaviour) and a "pause toggle" key.
This would be particularly useful when the simulationSpeeds setting is modified to include multiple values between 0 and 1 so that we don't have to hit , several times to pause, e.g.,
Code:
simulationSpeeds = [ 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 10, 30, 120, 600, 1200, 3600, 14400, 86400, 604800, 2592000, 7776000, 31536000, 157680000 ]

Also, negative values ought to be stripped out of any modified simulationSpeeds setting. If I include -1 at the start and run the simulation backwards for a bit, it throws a bunch of errors when I revert back to realtime.
