Control consistency for arrow and space users.
What is YouTube Control Fix?
"YouTube Control Fix" is a Chrome extension designed to unify the behavior of keyboard inputs such as arrow keys and the spacebar while navigating YouTube. It ensures that regardless of the last interacted element - be it the video player, track bar, volume slider, or buttons on the page - key events are redirected to the video for predictable and uniform control. It aims to streamline the user experience and is compliant with Google's trademark usage policies.

What about up and down scrolling the page insted of changing the volume? I thought the whole point was that when you have a youtube video open, up and down will always change the volume and left and right will always skip forward and back
