Hello,
I'd like to revisit this request. I believe having a "small step forward" action would be very handy. I often find myself wanting to search by varying lengths of time, and I find it disappointing that I have one less option to quickly find the spot I'm looking for.
Today (in Frodo), most of my videos have chapters, so I'm limited to:
BigStep (defaults to chapter, therefore same as Skip)
Step (+/- 30s)
SmallStep (+/- 7s) Backwards only!!!
With Gotham, I'm definitely excited about having separated Chapter/BigStep actions. but I'd really like to have at 3 levels of skip available (Big/Regular/Small) PLUS chapter skip. Unfortunately, with SmallStepForward missing, I'm stuck with an awkward dead key on my remote.
Please add SmallStepForward! It could even be mapped to the / slash key, which is currently unmapped according to
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Keyboard_controls
My dream:
------
On a somewhat related note, in the Keyboard Controls wiki page (
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Keyboard_controls), it appears that BigStepForward/Back is currently linked to both up/down and the square brackets. I do NOT see a "Future Gotham Feature" reassigning one of those key combos to ChapterOrBigStepForward/Back. Is this simply missing from the wiki, or is this on purpose? Personally, I would like to see up/down be assigned to ChapterOrBigStep, and square brackets remain with BigStep.
Thanks!
