Extension summary

This app is really simple. It enables the pause and play toggle with the spacebar in the HBO app!

HBO makes awesome shows. But the HBO web app has a tiny, yet frustrating detail that drives me nuts. You cannot pause or play with the spacebar. To make matters worse, hitting the spacebar exits full-screen mode. So, when you intuitively hit the spacebar to pause your show, you have to then click to pause and re-enter full-screen and it's a nightmare.
