I hope this is the forum to provide feedback.
It would be nice to be able to press the "space" keyboard button to play/pause embedded videos throughout the canvas learning material as a student
Hi there, @derchegy ...
Unfortunately, this is not the exact space here in the Canvas Community website to be making your suggestions for improvements to the Canvas LMS (Learning Management System). You can find that area over at: Canvas Ideas - Instructure Community. However, please note that the entire feature idea process is undergoing some changes, and I'm not exactly sure when the new process will be launched for everyone. You can read more about this at Turning Your Feedback into Better Prioritization and Release Processes: Our Path Forward.
With all that being said, there are some Guides that I'd like to direct your attention to related to feature ideas:
Now, I also noticed that you currently have a status of "Community Novice" which means you are pretty new to the Community website. You'll need to do a few more easy things in order to "rank up" (similar to leveling up in video games) to the next level/rank so that you can post your idea. Here are a couple additional Guides you'll want to take a look at:
I hope these links will be helpful to you. Please let us know here in the Community if you have any questions about the above. Thanks!

We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
