Can an option to set the shortcut keys for seeking back and forward 5 seconds be added?
Youtube currently has an annoying behaviour where if the volume slider is adjusted using the mouse, the left and right arrow keys change to adjusting the volume rather than the video time. This is annoying because when this happens, there are no other shortcuts to seek back and forward 5 seconds and the only way to return it back to normal is to pause and unpause the video or click on the seek bar, which would change the time. I do not know why they added such useless and inconvenient behaviour. A workaround for it would be ideal. I know 10 second seek can be used to avoid this but I much rather use 5 second seek because it is much more convenient.

youtube: left&right : 5 seconds up/down : volume
use case: setting a custom forward & backward seek interval (thats different). I do this in mpv
sometimes I need to skip back 1sec to see the few frames I missed

Hi, the problem about this is that when you use the mouse and put focus on the volume slider the YouTube default shortcuts are inverted. Up and down becomes seek 5 seconds, so when you really want to change the volume you end up seeking (quite far if you press multiple times, which you often do).
What really should be the right behaviour is that left and right is always "seek 5 secs" and up and down is always "volume adjustment 5 %".
This is why this suggestion is actually quite relevant, in my opinion. This functionality would force the shortcuts to be intuitively static instead of changing based on an action you don't necessarily remember doing. YouTube's behaviour is backwards (in fact, literally so).
Also: the 10 sec seek shortcut option doesn't resolve this, as it will seek twice as far, which is quite inconvenient for seeking contextually within the video.
