How to make Manipulate run/play automatically after evaluation, i.e. without having to hit the play button (but still being able to use the pause/play button)?
Manipulate[ Plot[Sin[k x], {x, 0, 2 Pi}], {k, 0, 50, 1, Appearance -> "Open"}]
(No, I don't want to use Animate.)
Unless I'm mistaken only Animator based controllers have AnimationRunning option. We can use it, but Animator does not have InputField appearance element. We can add it separately, but it will be tricky to hide it. So let's assume you don't have to:
Manipulate[
Plot[Sin[k x], {x, 0, 2 Pi}]
, {k, 0, 50, 1, ControlType -> Animator}
, {{k, 0, ""}, 0, 50, 1, ControlType -> InputField}
]
FieldSize -> 5 after the InputField makes it look like the default.

{k, 0, 50, 1, ControlType -> Animator, Appearance -> "Open"}- help me find a duplicate. $\endgroup$ – Kuba♦ Mar 26 '18 at 16:26ControlType -> Animatorworks, but... it somehow overridesAppearance -> "Open"- i.e. it's closed, not open (v10.4 and v11.1, Linux). $\endgroup$ – corey979 Mar 26 '18 at 16:30{k, 0, 50, 1, ControlType -> Animator, Appearance -> "Open", AppearanceElements -> All}? $\endgroup$ – Kuba♦ Mar 26 '18 at 16:32kvalue visible. I hoped there might be something likeAutoplay -> True... $\endgroup$ – corey979 Mar 26 '18 at 16:35
