About this extension
Enhance your YouTube playback with YouTube Fast Forward & Rewind. This add-on lets you add custom skip buttons and configure keyboard shortcuts for precise seeking control.

Key Features
  • Custom Skip Buttons: Add fast-forward and rewind buttons directly to the player controls with your preferred skip times.
  • Custom Keyboard Seeking: Set custom skip durations for the left and right arrow keys, overriding YouTube's default.
  • Action Delay Control: Fine-tune player responsiveness with an experimental setting to add a small delay (in ms) after a skip command. This is perfect for preventing buffering on some systems.
  • Integrated Controls: The buttons are designed to fit seamlessly into the YouTube player's native interface.
  • Auto-Save: All your custom settings are saved automatically.

Control your YouTube navigation exactly the way you want.

This is a major release focused on giving you more control over your viewing experience, redesigning the UI for clarity, and improving overall performance.



New Features & Major Enhancements
  • Fully Customizable Hotkeys
    • Take complete control of your keyboard. You can now assign custom keys for skipping forward and backward (e.g., J and L).
    • The UI prevents you from using the same key for both actions.
    • A new reset button lets you restore the default hotkeys (← and →) instantly.
  • New Advanced Settings Page
    • A dedicated section for power users has been added.
    • Action Delay Control: Fine-tune player responsiveness with a new experimental setting to add a small delay (in ms) after a skip command. Perfect for preventing buffering on some systems.



UI & UX Improvements
  • Collapsible Setting Panels
    • Preset and hotkey editors are now neatly tucked away in collapsible panels. Click the edit icon to expand and customize, keeping the interface clean and focused.
  • Clear Visual States
    • Disabled sections are now grayed out and their editors are automatically collapsed, providing a clear visual cue for which settings are active.
  • Improved Number Inputs
    • All number fields have been upgraded to custom spinner controls with up and down buttons for quick and easy value adjustments.
  • Enhanced User Guidance
    • New tooltips have been added to explain advanced features like Action Delay, ensuring you know exactly what each setting does.



Under-the-Hood Fixes & Improvements
  • Robust Settings Migration
    • Your settings are now automatically and safely preserved across future extension updates. No more resets.
  • Smoother Button Animations
    • The on-screen forward and rewind buttons now appear with a much smoother, flicker-free animation.
