I can't believe this hasn't been fixed yet.
Other music player apps (e.g. Spotify) use space for pause without
apparent issue. The space bar is the largest affordance on a keyboard
and play/pause is the most common action in a music player (and often
the one with most urgency attached), so it
This is a standard for music players. Follow the standard!!!

"Play/Pause" is the most basic/ important shortcut used in a music player and
it is incredibly impractical to have to hit "Ctl + p" every single time. Space
bar is the standard key for this in virtually all other music players, as far
as I'm informed.
I have searched up on this issue for a few

I haven't read the implementation for gnome accessibility w/ space bar,
but could I suggest that the selection order of the widgets be changed
so that play/pause widget is the first selected on window focus?
Then, so long as the user does not hit Tab while in the application,
space bar will be
The upstream bug is about a slightly different issue; the text and icon
on the play/pause button toggling when you toggle between those states.
It's not about the 'space' key. I'm going to unlink the bugs and mark
this as Won't Fix, since I cannot see that we will change this behaviour
in Ubuntu.

In precise it doesn't work again. If I press Space key the song started from
the beginning.
In addition to this, Rhythmbox become the default music player in ubuntu again,
so I think it would be nice if this bug became an active bug in the papercut
project.

I don't know why but, in Ubuntu Natty, pressing space actually does
toggle play/pause although, in the menu, the shortcut appears to be
CTRL-space... The major problem with this behaviour is that you can't
type space in the search bar without toggling play/pause... Very
disturbing!

I'd second the call for SPACE to activate play/pause in Rhythm Box. A
one-touch play/pause is essential.
Try this: playing your guitar, learning a song. You have to
play/pause. You can't be fiddling around with CTRL+SPACE or whatever
when you are trying to pin down a riff.

The patch does the opposite of what the Totem FAQ says.
I admit, the Totem FAQ may not seem the most authoritative source. So
here's what the GNOME HIG [1] says about using the space key as a
shortcut:
The following shortcut keys are reserved for keyboard navigation use by
the various widgets
OK, I am withdrawing my merge proposal and un-assigning me.

As I understand from the Totem FAQ, space cannot be used as an
accelerator because it's reserved for activating regular user interface
elements for accessibility reasons.

I noticed the same behavior in Totem. I found a related Gnome bug that explains
this behavior:

Space is reserved to activating widgets for accessibility purposes. It can't be
used for anything else. There's an entry in the Totem FAQ about this:

submit a patch?

Seemanta, the proposed behavior is that the button no longer appears
pressed under any circumstances; instead, only the icon on the button
changes between play and pause. To repeat, while playing the button
should not appear pressed -- it should have a pause icon.
