[Desktop-packages] [Bug 185928] Re: Pressing Space key should toggle play/pause (pause when playing; play when paused)

2022-10-27 Thread Roger Peppe
I can't believe this hasn't been fixed yet. Other music player apps (e.g. Spotify) use space for pause without apparent issue. The space bar is the largest affordance on a keyboard and play/pause is the most common action in a music player (and often the one with most urgency attached), so it make
