Description

I want to exclude the space key for YouTube (the only native shortcut key I use in YouTube). However the exclude rule seems to not handle special keys.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Reproduce the exclusion attempt for YouTube's space key, then locate the rule handling for special keys and trace how exclusions are applied. Done means the configured exclusion prevents Vimium from handling the space key in YouTube without breaking other shortcut exclusions.
