Description from extension meta

The space bar now always pauses/plays youtube videos, always.

Description from store

Don't you hate it when you want to pause a youtube video but you end up scrolling the page instead? Then you have to scroll back up and try pausing again. It's the worst.

With this extension, whenever you're watching a video at youtube.com the spacebar now only pauses/plays the current video. It will no longer scroll the page! We fixed the internet!

Когда я пишу комментарий на ютубе и нажимаю пробел, видео ставится на паузу, получается пауза-плей, пауза-плей и т.д.. Отключайте плагин при фокусировке в форме ввода текста. Удаляю вас.

Works

so far seems that works perfect. Also don't have this issue with pausing video while typing space bar in comments as some stated.

Martin Verrisin 2017-09-09

You cannot write comments with this.

Serge Mikolin 2016-03-28

not always.

Oscar Hoyos 2016-03-23

it doesnt work in full mode

Lance Atkinson 2016-03-12

Pauses/unpauses when I hit space while writing comments. Also Please please PLEASE make it work for the left and right buttons too. I can pause it but not fast forward or rewind.

Why youtube doesn't script this into their page is beyond me. Great job!

It'd be nice if it disabled when you scrolled down (or if it were easier to toggle), because if you try to write a comment, you can't put spaces in it. (Yeah, yeah, YouTube commenters are the worst, but sometimes I want to make a constructive comment directed to the maker of the video).

perfect, even disables the scroll effect

Jorge Angarita Corzo 2015-08-31

It's always pauses the video, but it's very inconsistent getting the focus onto the player.

Works perfectly for me. Thanks alot. Hope you keep updating it.

I always had problems with this on Youtube... This is really useful! Thank you so much!

Jake Smith 2015-05-06

This is exactly what I needed! No matter how many times I do this and remember that it does work on Youtube, I still do it. It's too well ingrained, I guess. Also, why the hell would I scroll with my spacebar when I have arrow keys, page up/down, a scroll wheel, et cetera? It works as described. Pressing the spacebar pauses a playing Youtube video or plays a paused Youtube video without scrolling the page.

Bruce Graham 2015-04-15

Yes it pauses, but it ALSO scrolls the page!
