Spacebar doesn't work for quick slideshow (viewer mode)

In viewer mode, pressing spacebar shows the next image and stops.
But if I click the toolbar button saying "quick slideshow" (or the equivalent, I use XnView in italian), then the slideshow starts.
The strange thing is, that the quick slideshow command should have the spacebar shortcut associated, as even the label says, but just pressing the spacebar does only load the next image.

Perhaps this is a problem, in English there is a correct shortcut in menu (Pause). You can change the action for Space key in Options > general > keyboard/mouse > space.

That did it, thank you!
It would be nice to remove the shortcut label near the command name when it's changed.
It can generate confusion when the user reads that the quick slideshow is associated with the spacebar key when instead it's associated to "go to next image" (as in my case)

I think the Italian translator have to change it, in few other languages I've checked it's correct.

I've checked the german language, and still the wrong shortcut appears

(set spacebar to go to next image)

(quick slideshow still appears associated with spacebar shortcut)
PS: with french the same

It's correct! Pause is default hotkey for quick slide show. Space is just additional, customizable hotkey.
