Disable Space Bar Page Down in Safari

[redneon]

Is there any way to stop Safari from performing a page down scroll when you press the space bar? There's a couple of Javascript games I like to play and I'm having to use Firefox to play then in because whenver I press the space bar the game scrolls away.

I've not been able to stop this. It is very annoying. I don't know anyone that intentionally uses the space bar to scroll down in safari.

Hi, my name is Interrobang, and I use the spacebar to page down sometimes.

Not a lot, but some of the time, since it's right there under my thumb, and the page-down keys require some gymnastics on a laptop.

Pleasure to meet you, by the way.

Searching for a solution only leads me back to the same places.

Any way to remove this functionality?

Looks like no one can help us with this 8-(

Anyone figured this out yet?

Many other browsers allow a scrips or extention to remove this functionality, but I have not found a way to remove this on safari.

Why did they duplicate the functionality of "page down" with no way to disable the redundancy for those that dislike this action?

Lots of different keyboard commands are "coded" into apps such as browsers. Tab moves between field entires. Space bar shifts page down. Shift+tab/spacebar moves the other way.
