Hi,

I want to decrease the media player seek distance from fifteen seconds to something like three seconds. Is there any way to do this?

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

Is this the time for right arrow and left arrow presses? There's no way to configure that currently.

A bug was filed a couple years ago, but there was disagreement on whether to add a preference or change the default or neither or both.

As a workaround, you could take a look at this extension, but it doesn't intercept the arrow keys, it uses its own shortcut keys for advance and rewind:

(I don't know whether an extension can intercept the arrow keys.)
