Am I from an Alternate Universe of keyboard commands?

[DanRathbun]

@slbaumgartner

I’ve never had space bring up anything but the select tool, but I too have a vague recollection of somebody noting a system preferences setting that interfered. Was it you @john_drivenupthewall?

Yes, I thought there were threads here where Mac users where getting a window popup (like Model Info, or whatever,) when they pressed the spacebar.

REFS:

Does SELECT have a Shortcut...(Spacebar)?

I have ‘lost’ the Dismiss active Cmnd → activate Select…(on pressing Spcbar). How do I obtain? Thanks …

Spacebar doesn't complete command and return to arrow

On Mac, when Accessibility is turned on, it’ll intercept space bar. You’ll see this by System Preferences->Keyboard and the Shortcuts tab, where tab moves keyboard focus between “All Controls”. If you change this to “Text boxes and lists only”, or type Ctrl-F7, it wont interfere. However, you miss the little blue silhouette and the ability to use space bar to click on the blue-halo selected item.

My spacebar no longer resets to the selection tool (windows OS) please help!

I just upgraded to sketchup2017pro and as soon as I flipped it on the spacebar command is no longer working. I am not aware on how to fix this. I am using windows 7 pro. Anyone else having this issue??
