@tapbots Pressing spacebar when a video is open in it’s own window closes it in Ivory. I would expect play/pause when looking at a video.
I get the logic: spacebar is also a pageup (shift+spacebar is pagedown). However, you can close the video window with escape, so there is really no need for the spacebar to close the window.
@tapbots OK, so there it’s from. But how do I initiate quick look? When navigating with arrows between toots, space goes pageup…
@doekman Ah you know, at one point space bar also opened media, but I guess we changed it at some point (probably awhile ago as we haven’t changed those interactions in a very long time). Not something we will change now as users are used to the way it works, but will make note of this for the brand new Ivory that will be coming in the future.
@doekman Videos and photos are using the same media viewer and we adopted the quick-look paradigm to quickly be able to show and hide the window.
