I don't think there's any actual living been that still uses the spacebar and the arrow keys to scroll through the page (my guess is that everybody has a mouse with a scrollwheel). Wouldn't it be nicer if we could use those keys to control the video player? I mean, i know we can already do that just by focusing on the player, but after that, we get that old firefox bug, which disallow us to close the tab, switch tabs, or anything else through the keyboard.
So, what I'm saying here is: what about implementing a code to detect those keys and pass them to the player using the API? Maybe you could keep the original functions of the keys using the CTRL modifier, if it's necessary.
IMO, that would definitely be awesome.
EDIT:
Some shortcuts to the features of the script would be awesome too.
Could be something like:
1 - 1x
2 - 1.25x
3 - 1.5x
4 - 1.75x
5 - 2x
6 - 2.25x
7 - 2.5x
8 - fill
9 - max
0 - full
ALT+(1,2,3,4) - (FLV Low quality, FLV high quality, mpeg-4 h264, mpeg-4 h264 hq)

really?!
thought everybody used the scrollwheel.
Anyway, you can still use CTRL, in order to keep the original functions. And there's always the possibility to put an option to disable it.
thanks a lot, hope you get to implement it.

Another suggestion along the navigation line of thought: is it possible to drop a transparent gif or png in front of the video player? The reason being when you scroll with the mouse wheel, if the pointer happens to get into the video area the scrolling stops because the flash player thinks that you are issuing it commands; as opposed to issuing navigation commands to the browser in general.

I would think it would be set as an option available to those of us who like to kill the annotations. Of course it would block the "related videos" that come up after a vid ends, but those choices also show up in the related videos frame anyway; so it isn't totally crippling your ability to choose those vids.

Just a thought.. LOVE the script!

During a brief period of time today I was having this problem (not being able to scroll when the pointer was into the video area). But that has never happened before and was only temporary, as it's working right now. Guess youtube is experimenting some changes in it's player again, that must be why it happened.

It happens to me all the time. I'm not sure if its just my set-up or something else. But YouTube is experimenting on channel layout ( http://youtube-channels-beta.blogspot.com/ ) The pages of the beta users I've seen so far have played havoc with YousableTubeFix, and the "save video" links.
