Current situation

When I click on a video on Khan Academy, the video starts playing, but the video player is not focused by default.

Desired situation

When I click on a video on Khan Academy, the video starts playing and the video player is focused by default.

Context

What I mean by focus is the focus() method in HTML.

See focus article on w3schools and autofocus article on w3schools.

Solution

This can probably be done with the autofocus html attribute.

Example:

<video 
    src="blob:https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/1234abc-1234abc-1234abc" 
    autofocus>
</video>

Reason/User Story

I will describe the reason in the form of a user story:

As a user, I would like videos to be automatically focused, so that I can immediately increase the playback speed via keyboard shortcuts, without having to manually click twice on the video in order for it to become focused.

(The keyboard shortcut I use is shift + .)

Thanks for the great product!
