Arrow keys to control playback

[pseudomonas]

For those of us who lack media keys on our keyboards, it'd be really useful if the arrow keys could be mapped to volume up/down; skip backwards/forwards (as is pretty standard in media players). Currently (0.6.14;Ubuntu;Flatpak) these only do anything if the relevant widget has focus.

Mapping +/- to adjust playback speed and PgUp/PgDn to navigating chapters would also seem intuitive though these aren't features that I personally use enough to care about.
(The existing mapping of Spacebar to play/pause seems entirely sensible 👍)

Thanks for your request :) More and customizable hotkeys are a feature that would be quite useful. The current focus is on improving stability and media support tough. It might take some time for this to be implemented.

It will be really nice to add hotkeys to skip forward 30sec, backward 10 sec, etc. Thanks for your hard work!

Adding to this: I think it would be sensible to copy video players like VLC and others when it comes to skipping back and forward, that is: just arrow is a medium skip, Alt + Arrow is a short one, and Shift + arrow is a very short one. VLC also have Ctrl + Alt + arrow as a longer skip, I'm not sure how common that is, but seems useful.

But at least skipping at all with the arrow keys is my number 1 wish for Cozy right now.

Thanks for a great application!
