Enter and Space should activate long presses about react-spectrum HOT 2 CLOSED

Are those actually long presses? I tried Stories with touch, and it pauses until the press is ended. But long press finishes after about half a second, which would be a different behavior. If you used useLongPress for this, it'd only pause the video for half a second and then it would resume. Seems like useLongPress isn't the right thing to use for this interaction pattern to begin with?

It also doesn't take a long press for the keyboard version of the interaction, just a quick tap of the 'Space' key will pause a video.

Maybe you can provide more details about what you're building, or an example app? Maybe some interaction patterns are being conflated. For instance, I think you can just use usePress with onPressStart and onPressEnd and use the interaction mode to determine what actions to take.

Something along these lines?
Touch: pause on press start, resume on press end
Mouse: toggle pause on press
Keyboard: toggle pause on press

We did not include keyboard interactions in useLongPress by default because they often differ between components. For example, in a button with both normal and long press mouse/touch interactions, you might use Alt + Enter or Alt + ArrowDown to open a long press menu. We could potentially make it configurable, but it doesn't seem too hard to use useLongPress in combination with your own onKeyDown listener either.
