Windows 10 Desktop 4.3.4 - Spacebar No Longer Toggles Play/Pause

There was a time when the spacebar toggled play/pause. There doesn't seem to be a way to set your keyboard shortcuts in any preferences/settings. This should be an easy fix if this has not been implemented or was broken in one of the newer versions.

Hi there @JustinL

Can you reinstall the app? It should work as we have this enabled.

Yes @bremg 

But thanks to community reports, it has been fixed :grin: it'll be added to the next release of the desktop app!

After each Alt+Tab you have to click on app to get it focused and then space bar starts to work properly. If you Alt+Tab without clicking on app it doesn’t work. Windows 20H2 (Build 19042.928) Deezer 4.34.0

Thanks for reporting it @burninghead 

Our updated version of the app (5.0) which should be released very soon, should perform without these issues. Of course, we'll need you to test it! Stay tuned :wink:

Can you fix this issue please?? 

 

I can alt-tab to Tidal and Spotify, and then press Spacebar to Play/Pause, but on Deezer I cannot.

 

This makes the app unusable for me. Will be uninstalling.

 

Deezer Version 5.20.0 on Windows 10. Pile of rubbish.

Hey @user20838 

We'll definitely take care of your feedback, but I've also replied to you on another topic - is there a way you can reply to me first?

Hi,

 

On both Windows 10 and 11 after alt-tabbing to the Deezer window pressing space to play/pause still doesn’t work. It only works if you click the window at first which kind of defeats the point. And like said above it does work with Spotify… Please fix this!
