Description Allan Day 2015-12-16 14:20:42 UTC
Small issues I can see:

 * The playback section is rather long.
 * It is hard to understand the "go to" items - you have to do a bit of arithmetic to realise how each of the time spans relate to one another.
 * It isn't clear what "Skip to dialog" means. I actually had to try the shortcut to figure it out.

Review of attachment 317500 [details] [review]:

It's better to split those sort of patches. You can use "git add -p" or "git commit -p" to only add a portion of a file to the commit.

The section split is fine, but the adjectives use, is less so. We'll need to find a better way to do this, either:
<- skip back
-> skip fwd
ctrl+-> / ctrl+<- skip further
shift+<- / shift+<- skip closer

or use the same unit for each one and group back and forward shortcuts and sort them in growing interval.

That's done in the separate patch, and merged.

Trying a different formulation for the skip action labels here. Not sure if it's quite good enough, but better than what I had before.

Looks good, though the commit subject should be:
data: Clearer label for "skip to" dialog shortcut

Review of attachment 317566 [details] [review]:

Still don't really like this, there's no information as to the order of magnitude of the jumps, and I'll get asked that...

Would it be better if I re-ordered the items in increasing "jump" lengths, and used the same unit (seconds) for all the labels?

I'm not sure how interesting that information is, tbh. You could add it in brackets after the label, I suppose.

The problem there is that the default action is in the middle, so you're still left with some figuring out to do:

 Shift + ←  Go back 5 seconds
 ←          Go back 15 seconds
 Ctrl + ←   Go back 180 seconds
