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.
- Open the sample: https://ui5.sap.com/#/api/sap.ui.base.DataType%23methods
- Try to scroll with pressing the spacebar
- 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.
