I haven't read the implementation for gnome accessibility w/ space bar, but could I suggest that the selection order of the widgets be changed so that play/pause widget is the first selected on window focus?
Then, so long as the user does not hit Tab while in the application, space bar will be play/pause as expected by (many?) at least me and OP. We could even go so far as physically swapping the (previous track) widget and the (play/pause) widget? At this point, it would be a design issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185928 Title: Pressing Space key should toggle play/pause (pause when playing; play when paused) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/185928/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
