Ableton wont playback at ALL with the Space Bar
Ableton wont playback at ALL with the Space Bar
Hi
it happened all of the sudden. i press the space bar and it wont trigger the playback at all. i tried to do loop mode, nothing! i can press shift-SB and it continues where it was last, but not from the start. i tried the key map and it wont even recognize the space bar as a key.
i have the lite version so i cannot contact Ableton support because i do not have a "supported version"
Thank you.

I have the exact same problem. It just started happening yesterday morning (27th Jan). The tab key also no longer switches between session and arrange view, do you have that problem also?

I cant use TAB to switch between session and arrangement either!
It started yesterday too.
Could it be a new update?

Ah! So we have the same problem it seems.
I'm not sure if there was an update yesterday. 11.2.7 came out in December.
What system are you using? I'm Mac Studio, M1 Max, OS 12.6.3.

Im am using a 2020 MacBook Air, i3, OS 13.
if i move my Ableton window "off center", the spacebar will summon it to the center.

I've placed a ticket with Ableton Support. If they get back to me with anything helpful I'll share it here.

Thank you so much!
Re: Ableton wont playback at ALL with the Space Bar
Just a thought, are you using any kind of window management app such as Magnet or Rectangle? These intercept many keystrokes to do what they do, and both apps appear to have had updates a few days ago. Maybe something broke because of the update?

YES! i found the issue. go to settings > accessibility > keyboard > turn OFF full keyboard access.
with keyboard access when you double click the SB it will show you what window you have selected and bring it to the top (overriding Ableton's key command). turn it off and you should be good to go.
