First three shortcuts already exist but with different keys

Thanks. could not find info about it anywhere, found myself by randomly typing fn keys, so in case someone is looking for them: F5 - prev track F6 - pause F7 - next track

In case someone wants to remap them easily with xremap on linux, here is a config.

keymap:
  - name: Telegram binding
    application:
      only: [TelegramDesktop]
    remap:
      C-p: KEY_PREVIOUSSONG
      C-n: KEY_NEXTSONG
      C-c: KEY_PLAYPAUSE

They are mapped to media keys by default in fact and they could be on a completely different key on a different keyboard.

    {
        "command": "media_play",
        "keys": "media play"
    },
    {
        "command": "media_stop",
        "keys": "media stop"
    },
    {
        "command": "media_previous",
        "keys": "media previous"
    },
    {
        "command": "media_next",
        "keys": "media next"
    },
    {
        "command": "media_pause",
        "keys": "media pause"
    },
    {
        "command": "media_playpause",
        "keys": "toggle media play/pause"
    },

I don't need complex control of media, and wouldn't use all of those shortcuts, but I really would use a simple jump forward and backward using the arrow keys all the time. Currently they advance/retreat back to other videos on the timeline. That's a nice feature, but if I had to choose I would much prefer the ability to jump around within the current track using the unassisted arrow keys. It's something I'm used to with videos in browsers and in my desktop media player, but is lacking in TG.

Implementing YouTube-like video player shortcuts, such as number keys for jumping to specific percentages, controls for adjusting playback speed, slow and fast forward options, and accelerated fast forward, would significantly enhance accessibility.
