Detect that user presses spacebar GTK4

Question

I am using gtk4-rs to make a GUI app for a music player. I would like to hit spacebar to play/pause songs, so I wanted to detect that a user hit spacebar in the app

I tried using EventControllerKey to detect the keypress, e.g. something like this

use gtk::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    let application =
        gtk::Application::new(Some("com.github.gtk-rs.examples.basic"), Default::default());
    application.connect_activate(build_ui);
    application.run();
}

fn build_ui(application: &gtk::Application) {
    let window = gtk::ApplicationWindow::new(application);

    window.set_title(Some("First GTK Program"));
    window.set_default_size(350, 70);

    let evk = gtk::EventControllerKey::new(); //builder().
    evk.connect_key_pressed(|a, b, c, d| {
        println!("{:?} {} {} {}", a, b, c, d);
        gtk::Inhibit(false)
    });
    window.add_controller(&evk);

    let button = gtk::Button::with_label("Click me!");

    window.set_child(Some(&button));

    window.show();
}

And this intercepts many letters that I type, but not spacebar (which seems to try to perform an action of clicking the button, which I also do not want)

sample output, no spacebars
