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.
Citing from http://projects.gnome.org/totem/#faq: Q: Why doesn't the space bar work to play/pause in windowed mode? It only works in fullscreen, and sometimes in windowed mode. A: The space bar will work in fullscreen. But when in windowed mode, for accessibility reasons, we cannot use the space to play/pause (it is used to "push" buttons already). It will work sometimes, as the play/pause button, or the video widget might be the one with the keyboard focus. Try using "P" to play/pause instead. The proposed patch hurts accessibility. -- Pressing Space key should toggle play/pause (pause when playing; play when paused) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185928 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
