I use k instead of the space bar for a long time.

That only works for controlling the video player. This bug affects the usage of the spacebar in the search field as well.

Same. I can't remember why exactly I switched, but I recall space bar being more of a gamble whether I would pause/unpause or scroll down the screen. K seemed to work better.

For me, if the play/pause button has focus, then the video starts playing for half a second and then pauses, because the button activation and the hotkey cancel each other. "k" does not have this issue.

For me it was when I figured out K always works while spacebar just occasionally works.
