Sgt (ID: 000000700479399c) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 01/29/2019 I thought I had found what I have been looking for for a long while, but unfortunately not. In the description, it says: "- Seek backward & forward works even the focus element is not on video player". This is what has great value, but does not work. Also, in assigning shortcut keys, I would suggest adding the possibility of using function keys (Ctrl, Alt and/or Shift)
