Hey, sweet! Thanks. A couple issues: 1) The number keys don't work when in full screen mode. 2) Also the keys don't work at all if the mouse pointer is outside the video rectangle. (Is that a limitation of the web browser interface?) It'd be great to have a few more keyboard shortcuts too. Left/right arrow keys to skip backward/forward 10 seconds? Keys for double speed, half speed, and frame-by-frame playback mode? H…

Initial version of slow motion and fast forward are now there. Use ALT + left/right arrow keys.

Great!

One issue: on my Macs I've bound ALT + left/right (aka OPTION left/right) to change virtual desktops.

I unbound those keys so that I could try out your new feature, and it works great...very cool.

Not sure what you can do for guys like me who are in the habit of already using those keys. Also not sure what I can do.

I expect it will not be easy for you to provide a good way for me to customize my Flowplayer keys.

So, I wonder if it would make sense to provide a Flowplayer alternative to alt-left/right that users would be unlikely to remap. Ideas: +-, , []

What do you think?

I can make it configurable for site owners and users but I'd rather find good keys that doesn't need to be changed. +/- are quite good .. maybe shift + arrow keys?

mplayer (keyboard only video player) uses [/] to alter speed by 5% and {/} to alter speed by 25%.

PS. Please, alter speed by 5% by default. I very often change speed of video or music by 5-15% only (to watch lectures at higher speed, or to listen foreign speech at lower speed, or to dance to music a bit faster/slower than usual).
