## Description

Annoyed with Twitch's default Space behavior? We got you.

This extension makes Space toggle playback on Twitch, just like on other platforms. Don't worry, nothing will break: we've implemented the same safeguards that Twitch uses, meaning that you can type in the chat and other fields as usual.

To be more precise, the extension intercepts Space keydown/keyup events on Twitch domains and replaces them with the corresponding K keydown/keyup events (K is the key Twitch uses for the functionality we need).
