Upstream comment >>>>> I'd like to hear some more arguments why this behaviour should be changed. The bug report indicates that someone accidentally pressed space bar - that doesn't seem like a good enough reason to change the current mapping.
In GTK, space is used to 'Toggle selected state of focused check box, radio button, or toggle button' - Nautilus would seem consistent with this. The major inconsistency is with web browsers, where space scrolls down. Many people learn shortcuts in that context and *could* expect similar behaviour in their web browser. What do Finder and Windows Explorer do? Whatever happens, I don't see a good argument for not using the space bar as a short cut for something. Other apps use it, I don't see why Nautilus shouldn't. <<<<<<< -- spacebar in nautilus should not open a file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431073 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
