Improve Spacebar Functionality for Pausing Videos

[luoxiangyi222]

Clear and concise description of the problem

What:
When playing a video in the app, the spacebar is used to pause and resume the video. However, currently, after selecting a video to play, the user must manually click on the video to focus on it. If the video is not clicked, pressing the spacebar exits the current video instead of pausing it.
