Description

What is the issue and how can we reproduce it?

Dear SAP Team, thank you for the awesome work on UI5. I would like to ask for a minor improvement of the demokit.

  1. Open the sample: https://ui5.sap.com/#/api/sap.ui.base.DataType%23methods
  2. Try to scroll with pressing the spacebar
  3. Scrolling is not working
Error:

While I understand that this is a absolute edge case, it would be nice to use the space bar to scroll down the page. (As like basically every other website also supports it).

Expected behavior:

On pressing space bar: the page is scrolled down, (It works in the documentation tab)

Which OpenUI5 version is your project targeting?

Unrelated / 1.140

Is the issue device- or browser-specific?

Tested with Chrome on MacOS.
