YouTube Control Fix: Uniform Keyboard Navigation

"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.
