 Replying to [comment:1 westonruter]:
 > What would happen if core adds such a global event listener, but then a
 plugin already has such an event listener? Wouldn't that result in
 duplicated events being triggered when the spacebar is pressed?

 What would happen if no plugin were adding such an event listener?
 Isn't [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Reference/Roles/button_role#onkeydown
 onKeyDown] a required event handler?
