Space on all views

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -7,6 +7,9 @@ All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
 ### Improved
 - Sample library browser: search now shows folder names only (no files) while typing, sorted by fuzzy match score. After confirming search with Enter, folders can be expanded and collapsed normally. Esc clears the search filter before closing the panel. Left arrow on a file collapses the parent folder. Cursor and scroll position stay valid after expand/collapse operations.
 
+### Changed
+- Space now toggles play/pause on all views, including the Patterns page where it previously toggled pattern play. Pattern play on the Patterns page is now bound to `p`.
