When I watch a video, no matter what website I am on, if I press the space bar to pause, the browser will automatically enter or exit the full screen. Can I turn off this function?

I don't notice that on YouTube, but I haven't tested other sites.

It's possible that the full screen button was the selected control. For example, perhaps it was the last thing clicked, and stayed selected, and then the spacebar activates the last selected button. ??

Wow, you're right! After my experiment, the space is a repeat of the previous operation of the control, thank you for your reply!

I'm not sure of the best way to shift the active control to being the pause button?

I think it's possible to make a switch about this function, because some people just use the space bar to pause.
