cannot match tea.KeySpace

[tgirod]

I think (correct me if I'm wrong) it is not possible to match any event to tea.KeySpace.

Hi! You actually just match on a literal space:

// It's usually simplest to just use the Stringer interface
switch msg.String() {
case " ":
    // It's a space!
}

// The super verbose way
if msg.Type == tea.KeyRunes && string(msg.Runes) == " " {
   // It's a space!
}

Thanks, I figured that part by myself! ;)

What I meant is, pressing [space] in bubbletea will produce a Key{Type: KeyRunes} event, but no keystroke will ever produce a Key{Type: KeySpace}, and I find it misleading.

In my first program I wanted [space] to trigger a special behaviour, so naturally I went for something like this:

switch msg.Type {
case tea.KeySpace:
    // triggers something special
case tea.KeyRunes:
    // append to the model's state
}

... and it took me some time to realize that this won't match the space key.

Ah! I see what you mean now. KeySpace is residue from early Bubble Tea development. @bashbunni is sorting this out #289 right now.

Hey, just an update that these changes were merged to main earlier today, so you can use tea.KeySpace or tea.KeySpace.String() now. Thanks for letting us know!

Hi @tgirod we got rid of KeySpace as it was causing other issues with our Bubbles components. I'd recommend using @meowgorithm 's original suggestion of using a " " to check for a space.

Technically speaking KeySpace is still in the codebase but it will be removed in the next release.

ok, thanks for the heads-up! In the end I've simplified stuff, and not using it anymore.
