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

- (2017-09-28) Hello World: so far seems that works perfect. Also don't have this issue with pausing video while typing space bar in comments as some stated.
- (2017-09-09) Martin Verrisin: breaks comments and more; this is much better: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/13386-youtube-space-to-pause

- (2016-04-07) Przemo Przem: You cannot write comments with this.
- (2016-03-28) Serge Mikolin: not always.
- (2016-03-23) Oscar Hoyos: it doesnt work in full mode
- (2016-03-12) 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.
- (2016-01-13) Nolan Raney: Why youtube doesn't script this into their page is beyond me. Great job!
- (2015-10-17) 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).
- (2015-10-07) tomáš jadrný: perfect, even disables the scroll effect
- (2015-08-31) Jorge Angarita Corzo: It's always pauses the video, but it's very inconsistent getting the focus onto the player.
- (2015-08-16) Eco: Works perfectly for me. Thanks alot. Hope you keep updating it.
- (2015-05-25) Roland Horváth: I always had problems with this on Youtube... This is really useful! Thank you so much!
- (2015-05-06) 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.
