> Please, do get the facts about user expectations

I'd be interested if there is a study regarding this. Here's my
opinion ("expectation"):
- in a list box, space bar shouldn't do anything special other than
for Ctrl-selecting;
- in a *video* player, space bar should toggle playback when the
selection is on the video widget.

The GTK+ list box behaviour of "Space = activate" is not very
uncommon; the Mac file manager does this as well (although I don't
know about iTunes). Maybe users expect this behaviour?

I do think Exaile needs a keyboard shortcut for controling playback.
Whether it should involve the Space key is, at this point, a matter of
opinion.
