Space bar?  If I press the space bar in a debugging session, the
session gets stopped immediately, and fontforge displays the space
glyph in a new tab.[*] The same is true in a standard glyph view.  You
certainly mean something different, right?

I think that the CapsLock feature got lost in the redesign of the key
handling, and I ask you to put it in again.  It would be nice to get a
comment from the person who committed that crime :-)

[*] By the way, this behaviour of quitting a session so brutally is
    extremely annoying (FontForge should first ask whether the user
    really wants to end the current debugging session) but another
    issue.
