Research direction

Start by locating the keyboard shortcut handling for Option+Shift+Up and Option+Space, then trace how consecutive shortcut events reach the text field. Reproduce the sequence with an external device that emulates those keystrokes. Done when the commands work in quick succession without inserting a space at the current cursor position.

Description

I use Option+Shift+up to go to the previous subtitle and Option+space for Play/Pause - with an external device that emulates the keyboard strokes.
When I press the two commands shortly after each other, I get a space in the textbox at the current cursor position. It seems to only recognize the space
