Should space key do something in this game?

I recommended this game to a friend of mine and the guy feels kind of bothered that pressing the space key means nothing. Red Alert and StarCraft have space key to turn the view to the latest incident. Here I represent him to request this function. Any idea?
Addition: I'm against this request. I play StarCraft and never use space key.

If you hold space while giving a command, it will be inserted at the front of the queue. If you hold shift+space it will be inserted in the mid of the queue. So space has a use as modifier key right now.

Where would you put this modifier key instead to free up space? I think F3 is currently the default for jumping to last label.

I totally agree. i have never liked games where the space-key doesn´t get hit that often.
Freedom for my space-key. I also want more to do for my ö ä and ü-keys. they are horribly underused and overshadowed by their big brothers like -> or ctrl. that is totaly unfair!!!!
