doesn't seem to work anymore after alt tabbing away and back in
you can also remove the isWatchPage check by changing the match line to // @match https://www.youtube.com/watch*
To use this script, you need to have Tampermonkey or a similar user script manager installed in your browser. Once installed, simply copy and paste the code into a new user script and save it. The script should automatically run on YouTube pages and disable the spacebar scrolling behavior.
Note that this script may not work if YouTube changes its code in the future. If that happens, you may need to update the script accordingly..
just click the raw button on here with tampermonkey installed and it should have a tampermonkey popup with an install button

Hey @alexwh I face the same problem, it doesn't work after alt tab and come back to youtube. Did you manage to solve this problem?
Is there a script that would add 'Copy Code' button to Github?
This should resolve the Alt-Tab issue.
AMAZING! 👍
Thank you 🙏
looks like the bug got fixed (for me)
and having the userscript enabled makes pressing the spacebar pauses and continues the video quickly
maybe you should comment the whole thing? or make a small notification to tell the users to disable the userscript?
