I just installed Ubuntu and I'm extremely happy about it, I can see myself switching to Linux from Windows permanently.
There's a slight problem however, when I'm watching a movie, arrow keys skip forward by 1 minute. Is it possible to configure this?
If so, how?
Best Answer
If you're talking about the default video player (called Gnome Videos (was Totem)), this feature is in the Wishlist category.
It's marked In Progress after about 4 years, so there's no telling when it might actually arrive.It's not going to happen. According to Bastien Nocera [totem developer]:If you do wish to configure, you might want to look at alternatives such as VLC, SMPlayer, etc.
In VLC, the option is available, but hidden away. Go to the Tools menu and open Preferences. In the bottom-left corner, change Show Settings from Simple to All, and search for
hotkeys
:Set the jump lengths to the duration you want (in seconds). You can also change the shortcuts for the jumps. (This option is also available in the Simple interface under the Hotkeys section - only the jump duration needs the advanced view.)
