With the spacebar acting both as the selection key for the current dialogue response as well as the key for skipping dialogue is a bad idea. Players can end up accidentally pressing too many times and end up inadvertently selecting whatever response is currently chosen. Probably best to allow clicking a mouse button or another key for dialogue skipping.
