When ever i press Space in Rhythmbox the song starts over instead of going on pause and when its on pause and i press Space the song starts over again instead of resuming from where it left of.

So my question is how can i change this so it will toggle between pause/play?

Does this Q&A help - if so, we should perhaps close this as a dupe: askubuntu.com/questions/181651/… – fossfreedom♦ Aug 30 '12 at 12:12
no, i want to change the "CTRL" + "SPACE" in the program to only "SPACE", so i can press space to toggle between pause and play, and it must only be while the program is open(not minimized just like how the "CTRL" + "SPACE" is now). – Jeggy Sep 1 '12 at 15:38

You would need to change the source, as space in a tree typically means "activate the current selection." And this describes the behavior you're seeing exactly.

However, it does appear that pressing Ctrl+Space gives your desired behavior.

thanks :D do you know how i can change it so when i press "CTRL" the same will happen as when pressing "CTRL"+"SPACE" ? – Jeggy Aug 17 '12 at 18:30
As Ctrl is a modifier key, you can't really make it do something when you press only that key. You will have to press it along with another key. If you want a single key for play/pause, I'd recommend a multimedia keyboard if you don't already have one. If you do have one, the play/pause key on it should do what you want. :) – dobey Aug 17 '12 at 20:07
sorry i wrote wrong, i meant "SPACE" not "CTRL" – Jeggy Aug 17 '12 at 21:25
