A closely-related issue: Space has long been partially broken in YouTube: if a button is focused, then Space toggles the play state and lets that button activate (the browser default behaviour). This is probably most frustrating if you clicked on the play/pause button with your mouse, so that it’s focused: now pressing Space will pause and immediately resume (or resume and immediately pause again). So I got used to using k instead of Space. Someone should put an event.preventDefault() somewhere.
- mkl 6y agoThere's another long-standing YouTube space bug too: space doesn't scroll down when the page itself has the focus, like it does on every other web page. It just plays/pauses the video, even if you're way down in the comments.
- jml7c5 6y agoI would suspect this is intended behavior. YouTube expects users to rely on page up/page down or mouse/trackpad scroll.
- brokenmachine 6y agoThe thing I don't like is if you click on a timestamp in the comments, it zooms you up to the video, so you lose where you were up to in the comments. I wonder if there's any way to get it to not do that, even on a one-time basis? If I want to go back to the top, I'll press the Home key, thank you very much.
