As a user, I’ve not thought too much about this before now. I agree with you mostly, but the keyup on space behaviour actually feels so innate I’d hate any change to it. Keydown on space is “jump”; nothing else.
replyI’d just like to hear an explanation of why it is. Because if you handled “is key currently pressed” events with polling rather than events (which is how people almost always consume them logically), it would be the only thing in the entire world that I can think of that would/should use keyup.
