Control consistency for arrow and space users.
The YouTube UI has a different action for the arrow keys depending on if you last selected the video, track bar, volume, or button element with your mouse. This extension redirects key events to the video element for consistent actions.

- (2023-10-29) Louis: I was tired of youtube always changing the volument when I use those arrow keys. It was so bad that it gave me a habit of always clicking somewhere random on a page as soon as I enter it.
- (2023-10-26) Алексей: Could you also permanently assign pause/play to SPACE BAR? Now Google has broken it too.

- (2023-07-27) Alex: It works, screw youtube for letting such an annoying bug go perma-unfixed
- (2023-03-08) Ben Berwick: Doesn't work. Found that when mute/speaker widget is double-clicked (which just toggles mute on/off quickly) then L/R scroll and U/D volume are restored.

- (2022-11-10) Tyler Bass: This works like a charm! I kept getting fed up with YouTube videos randomly swapping my up and down arrows with skip forward/backwards! If you are having this issue too, try this! It's working great so far for me!

- (2021-12-29) Mr Reality: Worked for like 10 minutes and now it doesn't work anymore. Haven't changed a thing reinstalling the extension and re opening browser doesn't work. Still a 2 star because the idea was there sadly its broken.

- (2021-09-21) Continental Nobleman: Stops audio from changing when using the left and right arrow keys and video from skipping when pressing the up and down arrow keys. Didn't even one person read this? He's got it backwards!. U/D is volume and L/R is skip
- (2021-08-29) Ale: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

- (2021-07-13) Sarah Lewis: Thank you so much! This thing was making me boil in absolute rage and frustration every time it happened. If you have had a donation box I'll be giving you money right now! Thank you :)
- (2021-07-11) harry harry: Finally somebody stood up to this backwards issue, I thank you! It's indeed a blessing! Please don't let this project down in the future.
- (2021-07-07) Pabz Roz: Works perfectly absolutely no issues. Install the extension and that's it, it just works. I use the arrow keys to adjust volume and to skip ahead/ back in videos so this was always an issue for me as I would constantly fast forward or rewind trying to adjust the volume. So happy I'm not the only one and someone actually came up with a fix. Seriously it's perfect!
- (2021-06-29) Enzo Einhorn: you're my savior
- (2021-04-12) Brendan Krafty: Finally a solution to the absolute bane of my existence. Google engineers couldn't figure this one out already? Great work.
- (2021-04-08) Andy MacKey: Works as advertised. It's a true blessing to my viewing experience, and I'm in disbelief as to why this is not already built-in into YouTube.
- (2021-01-29) Morty Joyse: wow this is incredibly helpful and necessary! thank u!!!!
- (2021-01-28) Arthur Gibson: 10/10 would use again
