What's Wrong?

When installing plugins from a custom marketplace (not Discover), the spacebar toggle does not function. Pressing spacebar on a highlighted plugin has no effect—the green plugin name with checkmark does not change state.

Important: Spacebar toggle works correctly in the main Discover tab. This bug is specific to the Marketplaces > Browse Plugins flow.

What Should Happen?

Pressing spacebar on a highlighted plugin should toggle its install state (checkmark on/off), consistent with behavior in the Discover tab.

Error Messages/Logs

No error messages. Spacebar keypress is silently ignored—no visual feedback, no state change.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run claude in terminal
  2. Type /plugin
  3. Tab to Marketplaces
  4. Select a marketplace that has plugins available
  5. Select Browse Plugins
  6. In the plugin list, highlight a plugin using arrow keys
  7. Press spacebar to toggle install state
  8. Expected: Checkmark toggles on/off
  9. Actual: Nothing happens—plugin state unchanged

Verification: Return to Discover tab and test spacebar toggle there—it works correctly.

Additional Information

This appears to be part of a broader issue with the Marketplaces browse UI having incomplete keyboard event handling. Related issues being filed separately:

  • Navigation incorrectly resets to Discover tab when pressing Enter for details
  • Marketplace removal does not persist after restart

Suggests the Marketplaces browse view may be missing the keyboard event handlers that exist in the Discover view.
