Description Tommi Komulainen 2005-03-31 19:57:27 UTC 
Once bug 165120 gets committed (back)space should scroll also when the focus is
on the sidebar.  Probably better to scroll the page rather than the sidebar.

Filing as separate bug to avoid overloading the initial implementation.

I'm not sure if I like this. Bryan?

Yeah, a person shouldn't have to care where the focus is when selecting page
up|down or spacebar.  Now if we just don't allow the sidebar focus, then you'll
lose the ability to use the arrow keys to select next or previous thumbnail; but
I don't think we really designed for that anyway.
Comment 4 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2005-05-09 16:19:23 UTC 
Ok, we should probably make space an action then, and register it as accel in
the UI. That way it will have priority over anything else. It should be pretty
simple to do if someone want to give it a try...
Comment 5 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2005-05-10 12:12:56 UTC 
This turned out to be completely evil... I made it a global accel but I had to
enable it only for some widgets (sidebars and view for now), otherwise space
doesnt have the usual meaning on other widgets, like buttons, entry (!)....
