TikTok: spacebar pauses the video
Adds a spacebar shortcut that pauses or resumes the current video without reaching for the mouse.
Code to copy
// Press the spacebar to pause or resume the current video
document.addEventListener('keydown', function (e) {
if (e.code !== 'Space') { return; }
const tag = (e.target.tagName || '').toLowerCase();
if (tag === 'input' || tag === 'textarea' || e.target.isContentEditable) {
return;
}
const v = document.querySelector('video');
if (!v) { return; }
e.preventDefault();
if (v.paused) { v.play().catch(function () {}); } else { v.pause(); }
