Thanks for your feedback. First of all there are different visual feedbacks in the UI (depending on the skin) if you start seeking.

1. the seek slider/progressbar (blue one) which indicates the current seek position.
2. the seek time (on the left) which indicates the resulting playtime after the seek will be performed e.g. 03:31
3. (WIP) the seek offset (after SEEKING) which tells you which seek step you are currently reached e.g. +03:00
Apart from that you can configure each step size and the delay e.g. configure only -10m,-30s,-7s,7s,30s,10m and if you don't want to wait such a long time (1000ms) before the seek is performed you will be able to reduce the delay to the minimum of 500ms which is really near to instant

But I would recommend smaller step sizes e.g. -3m,-60s,-30s,-7s,7s,30s,60s,3m because the last skip step size will be repeated on subsequent key presses. 1 = 7s, 2 = 30s, 3 = 60s, 4 = 3m, 5 = 6m, 6 = 9m .... 10 = 30m etc.
