Click the full screen button to enjoy a movie. Watch for a bit. Hit space to pause to do something. Unfullscreen.

    I hate that, space bar should just always be pause and resume not whatever you hit last. Now I have to go full screen then pause and resume so that of I hit spacebar later it will pause

    J for 10s jump back

    K for pause

    L for 10s jump forwards

    Also , and . (or < and >, depending on how you look at it) move a paused video frame by frame.

    I hate vi shortcuts because they never take non-qwerty keyboard distributions into account and it is unpredictable whether they'll follow position or letter and shortcuts of webpages aren't remappable.

    No, the legacy of HJKL in modern tools comes from vi, which itself uses them because the original ADM-3A terminal that Bill Joy used when developing it used HJKL in lieu of arrow keys.

    vi was hugely influential and its legacy can be found in many tools beloved by software engineers and other tech-minded folks (and vi's successor, vim, is still widely used to this day).

    ahh alright! thanks for the additional info, I mostly know JKL<> from avid media composer which judging by the UI looked ancient to me when my lecturers insisted it's the "industry standard" and "no you can't use Premier Pro you need to learn avid or you won't find a job"

    I want a button that skips back 10s, turns on subtitles, and then turns off subtitles when we're back to where we started.

    The Apple TV 4 launched with a feature where you could hold the Siri Remote and ask “what did they say?” And it would do exactly that.

    I’m pretty sure it only worked in their apps

    Of course :(

    They’ve supported it since 2015 and provide this extensive documentation:

    My feedback:

    “Control what's playing on Apple TV” includes "What did he say?" with no explanation of the rewind/temp CC feature. Also excludes shorter “what was that?” command. I want a massive table of all command permutations and their results.

    As much as I dislike roku that's one of the nice features it has.

    Adjust audio by 5% with up/down arrow keys, so your focus will never be on the audio slider.

    You can also adjust it by 10% by hovering over it and scrolling up/down with the mouse wheel.

    J K and L are shortcuts that work no matter what element within the player that your keyboard focus is on.

    Is there one that disables 1-9 keys for jumping around in the video? I’ve accidentally pressed those so many times and lost my spot in a long video. Extremely frustrating!
