"Hit space bar" translation

Question

How would you translate "Hit the space bar"?

Answer 1

Well, space bar translates to

barra espaciadora.

So it might be

Oprime la barra espaciadora.

Oprimir is the common verb for push the button of a telephone, I don't know about the space bar, that was a guess on my part.

I was going to say pulsar as an option. I've heard pulsar used for instance with pushing the button in an elevator. - Jeremias, Feb 6, 2012
