configuring run levels: use space as switch enable/disabled

It is pretty widely used UI that if you get the list and items on the list are switchable, space key is used as way to switch the state.
Comment 1 Lukas Ocilka 2009-02-04 12:22:28 UTC 
Yes, this is a good idea, nevertheless that UI event is already used
for redrawing the selected-service status plus redrawing the service
description accordingly. So it cannot be implemented.

(Up/Down keys produce the very same UI event as the space)
Sorry, closing as WONTFIX (which is actually CANTIMPLEMENT)
Comment 2 macias - 2009-02-04 12:43:15 UTC 
Lukas, please explain, here
* space does nothing at all, it is a dead key
* up -- moves the selection up
* down -- moves the selection down

So how space can do the same thing as two opposite functions?
Comment 3 Lukas Ocilka 2009-02-04 12:54:02 UTC 
Both up and down (when table is in focus) return the `table UI event
the same UI even as space does.

It redraws the currently selected service
a.) status (might have changed)
b.) summary on the bottom
Comment 4 macias - 2009-02-04 14:30:28 UTC 
So it is rather bad key-assignment, because everything is redefined comparing to most likely keys.

space -- usually activation, not refresh
f5 -- refresh
