Myself and coworker both have the same version of Git Tower, when he is focused on an uncommitted change and hits the spacebar, the file is staged for a commit. When I hit the spacebar nothing happens. What's up with that? I like my hot keys! The spacebar checks boxes in my browsers but not in Git Tower. Like I said in the title, this is a "I'm being lazy and don't want to use the mouse, low priority" question.

Thanks

  • Sorry, we don't do lazy questions here. – Holger Just May 07 '12 at 19:54
  • Isn't being lazy a programmers forte? Writing code so that you only have to write it once and not over and over? DRY? – Luke May 07 '12 at 20:59
  • Same problem here. It was working, now its not. Really painful. The alternative shortcut key is Cmd+Alt+A, but its awkward. Not sure how this happened. – vaughan Sep 05 '12 at 01:53

You need to enable Full Keyboard Access in your Keyboard preference pane, see the image below. Checkboxes (like in Git Tower) are normally not editable/selectable through keyboard focus, so that is why the spacebar also doesn't work.
