This is one of the built-in behaviors of QuickTime. There are a lot of 
other keys that activate various behaviors too, which allow a player 
object to be controlled from the keyboard. In one of my stacks, this was 
a big advantage and I appreciated the flexibility it gave my users.

It only works, though, if the focus is on the player. If you change the 
focus to some other object, keystrokes are directed to that object 
instead and the keyboard should behave normally. You can use the "focus" 
command to switch focus to something else.
