    Looks like this might be an issue with having Spotify running at the same time as Ai. Spotify uses the spacebar to pause/unpause songs and can sometimes 'take over' the use of the spacebar in other apps.

    I suggest trying a restart of Spotify.

    You can also follow the steps here to reset the hardware preferences in Chrome (which can also hijack shortcuts): https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Windows/Google-hijacking-my-keyboard-shortcuts/m-p/4731051#M75230
