Description

Platform

Desktop - Web

Describe the bug

Using the web viewer, my expectation is that the space bar would advance and show me more of a particular item, not change the scroll in the middle column for the list of available feeds.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the spacebar behavior in the Desktop-Web viewer and trace the keyboard handling for the focused item and feed list. Done means pressing space advances or reveals more of the current item instead of scrolling the middle feed-list column.
