This is a request to restore the previous functionality by removing or provide a simple method of disabling “Long-Press” code.

Unlikely to be changed, to be honest. With my USB keyboard the old default behaviour is actually quite unusable (due to additive seeking) and you'll zip right to the start/end before you've managed to lift your finger from the keyboard, so I can see why the mapping has been altered.

However it's quite easy to create your own custom keyboard mapping in /storage/.kodi/userdata/keyboard.xml that will revert the change:

Code:

<keymap>
  <FullscreenVideo>
    <keyboard>
      <left mod="longpress"></left>
      <right mod="longpress"></right>
    </keyboard>
  </FullscreenVideo>

  <Visualisation>
    <keyboard>
      <left mod="longpress"></left>
      <right mod="longpress"></right>
    </keyboard>
  </Visualisation>
</keymap>
