Why not use other keys? For example b for backward f for forward and make the keys configurable in the settings file; in other words keys that don't have a system assignment and that could be used regardless of the focus!? Moreover, if somebody decides to enhance the key bindings part and to make the keys configurable in the settings file, I would suggest to not only define the two keys for backward and forward; but it would probably be simpler for the user to also have keys without modifier to replace the scrollwheel+modifier. > The obvious fix is, however, to press <Tab> until the focus is on the > linslider - or on a widget that does not consume keyboard events. When I suspected it to be a focus problem, I tried without success to click on the main movie pane to give it back the focus (which is probably what most will try); I tried without success to move the sliders to give it back the focus; but I did not think to use the tab key to set the focus to the linear slider... Thanks for telling me the solution.
