How do you do what the title says? All I could find was this:
"You can do it by assigning a hot key for example "3" (number 3 button) in Config -> Mappers.
Press "+" button.
For "Key:" field type: "3"
For "Action:" field type the following text: "deck 1 play_pause & deck 2 play_pause"
Save changes and try "3" hot key"
Problem is, there is no "mapping", there's only a "controls", which shows a list of hotkeys but there's no "add new hotkey". If you press + like the quote said, all that happens is + goes into the search box and the hotkeys list turns into a gray box. How did the designers of the program not foresee that somebody might want to put, say, a vocal track in one deck and an instrumental track in the other and at some point want them both to play in unison? Why is there not a "play both", "start both", or whatever button? Pretty sure if there is one I would be able to see it. Is it hidden somewhere that nobody can see? Shouldn't there be a button right in the middle that nobody could possibly not see?

I figured out the answer myself. You go into options, controller mapping, select custom mapping and choose a key to map, then in action you choose deck_select and in the right dropdown you choose leftdeck. Then you do the same with another key but this time choose rightdeck. I used the [ and ] keys for the two decks. When you press both keys both decks will play or stop together any time you press the play button on either one or the space key. There's no way to deactivate it though, that I know of, you have to close the program and reopen it to get back to normal mode.
Actually I found you only need to click the key mapped to select the right deck, because the left one is already selected by default, selecting the right one just adds it, so I guess you only need to make that one key mapping.
