Keyboard shortcut for unfolding all item information sections?

Hi fellow kanji learners!

It’s been a while since I last reviewed anything on WK (shame, I know :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth:) and there’s something that is really bugging me…
I remember that last time I reviewed stuff on WK, at least a year ago, I used to press the spacebar to reveal/unfold all information in the item info after giving an answer for an item, but I can’t get it to work anymore.

I have tried disabling Tampermonkey and even Stylus (you never know), but even then it still won’t work. I’m using Firefox 121.0 on Windows 11.
Did the spacebar shortcut get disabled/changed? Or is there something broken here?
AFAIK, the WK knowledge guide still lists this shortcut, so I’m not so sure what the issue is here.

For more context, here’s what I expect to happen when I press spacebar when then item info is already displayed: the folded sections (like in the screenshot below) unfold to reveal everything about the item.

Sorry if this is a stupid issue, and thanks for your time if you read this :slight_smile:

Oh, and Happy New Year too :tada:

The shortcut for that is E

Bottom right has a keyboard icon that shows all up to date shortcuts

Thanks a lot! I did not notice this button but it’s good to know :slight_smile:
Guess I’ll have to train my muscle memory again on top of learning my kanji!

Yep. I’m having trouble finding the thread where they announced it, but have a feeling it was last April or thereabouts. Basically, it was an accessibility thing - spacebar is pretty standard as “scroll down” (when there’s no text box active) on most of the internet, so having it perform a different function here made us different.

Thanks for the heads up! Looks like we’ll need to fix that on the Knowledge Guide. I’ll log it to be updated.
