GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 672666
Add finer playback control through keyboard shortcuts
Last modified: 2020-03-17 09:25:43 UTC
Originally reported at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/962755 AFAIK, there is no keyboard shortcut available to seek forward/backward in the current track (by 10mn/1mn/10s increments for example like in mplayer). The mouse control is just not precise enough.

This would also be useful for accessibility, so that you can seek without using the mouse. Finding a nice keyboard shortcut might be tricky, so we should at least allow seeking when the seek slider has the focus. Maybe something like the volume button: hit Enter, and then arrows adjust the position. This would also benefit the Seek dialog.
Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/issues/264 for more info.
