Space to Play/Pause double pressing when adding space as a shortcut for play/pause

[Alenthas]

When alt tabbing back into firefox with the specific youtube video open, pressing space doesn't pause or unpause the video. You have to click on the browser with your mouse to get space key to work. To fix this, I set it up within the addon to have the same functionality, so that I can pause or unpause without having to click on the browser. This works so long as I alt tab into firefox, but if at any point I click on the browser both shortcuts work in tandem, resulting in space being double pressed, so you can't pause/unpause.

hi! @Alenthas
you can disallow youtube to listen to space (to unoccupy it) with our:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unlock-keyboard-mouse/
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ijngdimmjkngoglcjaheoadciaalbafl
(then you see that default behavior happens: scrolling. unless it is also set with improvedtube)

• why does this only have 500 users after years? (we can rename it or anything). there is no other browser extension. there is a similar tampermonkey script, with over 2million downloads without an UI: 暂停维护通知 Cat7373/remove-web-limits#129

I was just coming here to report this. In my attempts to figure out what was going on, I discovered that if the Play/Pause shortcut is unset, then the doubling occurs. If you set it to another key (say "F1") in the Extension, then space bar works as normal.
If the Play/Pause shortcut isn't set to "space", why is it acting like it is?

Possible solution is to locate and remove the segment of code responsible, and just set the Play/Pause shortcut to "space" by default?

Space listens for keyup events, thats why it acts weird, fixed in #2421
