- Fix space bar affecting the previously watched video in background on Shorts video page.

By pressing the left or right arrow keys on YouTube video player, the active element is changed to the progress bar. After that, pressing the space bar doesn't pause or play the video anymore.

It fixes the problem. With this extension, you can play or pause YouTube video with space bar even when the video is not focused.
