Press space to unsuspend #522

It would be neat if pressing the space button in a suspended tab would unsuspend it. As I remember, it used to be that way? At least until the forced update i believe my installed version worked this way.

This issue is basically a duplicate of the old #13

Through chrome you can make a keybinding for this, like the default Ctrl-Shift-U, but I find that rather unhandy, and it wont let me rebind it to 'space' which is probably reasonable as the shortcut should only work in suspended tabs.

I second this. I also miss the "press spacebar" behaviour so much.

Are you aware that reloading the page will also unsuspend it? ie: command+r in osx or F5? in windows. Perhaps this is a fair compromise? I could add spacebar support back in, but not sure if it would really be useful to that many people - especially as it is rather undocumented.
