Thank you for the report. Indeed the `Space` key is broadly used to play/pause videos. As for Gwenview, it uses the shortcuts `P` and `M` for the actions Play/Pause and Mute, respectively.

Thank you, I didn’t know that `P` could be used.
Since there is no corresponding entry in "Configure Keyboard Shortcuts", I assumed there was no keyboard shortcut.
