Feature request: Media Player control.

Open EvanCarroll opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Currently, many media players provide playback speed control. It would be very cool if there was an interface exposed by Surfing Keys to take control of media players. The thing I most want is playback speed control.

Other plugins allow you to play YouTube faster than 2x speed. It would be nice if we had an operator M or the like, where I could do something like

  • Ms+: Media Speed Faster
  • Ms2: Media Speed 2x
  • Ms3: Media Speed 3x
  • Ms0: Media Speed Default

I'm sure there are other hotkeys that would work for a Media player. But this would would eliminate the need for a Youtube playback speed extension.

I've wanted this for a long time. I use Video Speed Controller it's an awesome extension, but its keys are not very well suited with any vim-like extension. For example, I ban these on video-focused sites. let videoKeys = ["v", "s", "d", "h", "l", "r"]; //Video Speed Controller Keys and created alternative keys for them.

IMO watching video is crucial part of surfing the web, so having these bindings makes sense. But I'm curious how everyone thinks about this.

I believe this is banning YouTube from giving the shortcut keys, and allowing yours through. Is there a way to stop Surfingkeys from implementing specific keys? All I've found the need for is "<", ">", and I'd be happy to let that work for video sites, while everywhere else it moves the tab.

Also just noting a related issue.

I changed the keyboard shortcuts of the YouTube enhancer extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/enhancer-for-youtube/ponfpcnoihfmfllpaingbgckeeldkhle?hl=en-GB
