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.

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

- Serge Mikolin

- Oscar Hoyos
- it doesnt work in full mode
- Lance Atkinson
- 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.
- Nolan Raney
- Why youtube doesn't script this into their page is beyond me. Great job!
- F. Ling
- 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).
- tomáš jadrný
- perfect, even disables the scroll effect
- Jorge Angarita Corzo
- It's always pauses the video, but it's very inconsistent getting the focus onto the player.
- Eco
- Works perfectly for me. Thanks alot. Hope you keep updating it.
- Roland Horváth
- I always had problems with this on Youtube... This is really useful! Thank you so much!
- Jake Smith
- 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
- Yes it pauses, but it ALSO scrolls the page!
