Keyboard Shortcuts accept the spacebar
Last modified: 2006-10-02 19:50:35 UTC
Please describe the problem: The Keyboard Shortcuts window, accepts the spacebar as a keybinding. Which will (at least for me) completely block your spacebar button. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open the keyboard shortcuts window 2. Select any shorcut 3. Add the spacebar as the shorcut 4. (Optional) Remove the shorcut with "Backspace" Actual results: The spacebar becomes totally unusable, and when you use it the cursor just flicks (it understands that I pressed it, but it doesnt know what to do) and it does nothing. Even if I remove the shorcut afterwards, using the fourth step, its still the same problem. I then, to temporary solve it, changed back and forth the keyboard layout, but I guess this is not a permanent fix. Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information: I suggest to remove the option to add the Spacebar as a keybinding completely. I guess that Ctrl+Spacebar or Alt+Spacebar are alright, but not solo Spacebar. Thats destructive. (At least for me.)
