I am working in Angular to implement accessibility and adding (keyup.space) events on clickable elements. Space press has a default behavior that moves the scrollbar, which I don't want to happen. I managed to skip it in the main page by using event.preventDefault(), but when I press space in a button in the modal the behavior is present although I use event.preventDefault().
Is there any way to stop the default behavior of moving the scrollbar when I press space in an element in the modal?

If it is vanilla js, it should work as expected.

window.addEventListener('keydown', function(e) {
if(e.keyCode === 32) {
e.preventDefault();
}
});
I was using (keyup.space)="$event.preventDefault();onClickMethod()" event. I fixed it by using (keydown.space)=="$event.preventDefault();onClickMethod()"
