Enter play mode from scripting?

I'm attempting to creat my first editor script, but looking through the documentation, I didn't see a way to start play mode. Is this even possible?

 

Nope, not in the public API right now.

Want to describe what you're up to?

I was inspired by the TransformSaver script, and I want to use a similar method to capture and store camera information to create a flowing, cinematic camera.

 

I know I dont know much but is there a reason why you cannot "destroy" a main camera and "instantiate" one the next frame?(possibly with different scripts attatched?

 

Speaking of scripting the play button, it would be nice if there was a keyboard command for that, plus the pause button. It does get slightly tiresome having to hit them with the mouse pointer every time. Quickly making changes in the Inspector while playing and pausing with keyboard commands would speed things some. But maybe that's just me. A really minor complaint to be sure, but I thought I'd make it anyway.

From the Edit menu:

 

Wouldn't you want to use a regular old Animation for that?

Code (csharp):

1. EditorApplication.ExecuteMenuItem("Edit/Play");
