shortcut for running the simulation in Blender 2.8 instead of Alt+A? I'm following this tutorial, and at 1:40 it presses Alt+A to "run the simulation":


                     


However, this keyboard shortcut does not work ib blender 2.8. I was wondering if you could help me know:


what is the right keyboard shortcut for doing the above step
how I can do this from the menus/toolbars? (if I forgot the shortcut)


If above are not possible then if there are specific tutorials replicating the above tutorial in 2.8?
The shortcut is SPACEBAR to play the animation, if you're using the default Blender 2.8 or Industry Compatible keymap. In case you have mapped Tools or Search to SPACEBAR, then it's SHIFT+SPACEBAR.

You can check what is mapped to your spacebar in the preferences (Edit > Preferences > Keymap).
