The Compose documentation states that both enter and space will trigger a click event. (keyboard navigation with a physical keyboard). However, in all the Compose apps I’ve ever made, only enter works. For non-compose apps, space works too. Does anyone have an idea why?

Doesn’t matter if it’s a button or clickable modifier. Space does nothing in all the Compose apps i’ve tested

How are you testing this, on a physical device with a keyboard attached? It would be good to file a bug

[Louis Pullen-Freilich [G]]

It should be supported

[christian.steffensen]

Yes, a physical device with a bluetooth keyboard. I’ll file a bug 🙂
