Create keyboard shortcuts

[maboa]

Description	Shortcut
Pause / resume	cmd/ctrl + ?
Skip forward	cmd/ctrl + >
Skip back	cmd/ctrl + b
Make selection a title	cmd/ctrl + e
Make selection a synopsis	cmd/ctrl + i
Make selection a keyword	cmd/ctrl + k
Make selection a timecode / add timecode	cmd/ctrl + j
Add multi-timecode	shift + cmd/ctrl + j

The above seem to be safe on Chrome/Firefox on macOS. @overZellis133 @cartograforce please weigh in.

Not sure how far people are used to this already, but could we make that configurable? Alternatively I'd suggest

Description	Shortcut
Pause / resume	cmd/ctrl + s
Skip forward	cmd/ctrl + d
Skip back	cmd/ctrl + a
Make selection a title	cmd/ctrl + e
Make selection a synopsis	cmd/ctrl + i
Make selection a keyword	cmd/ctrl + k
Make selection a timecode / add timecode	cmd/ctrl + w
Add multi-timecode	shift + cmd/ctrl + w

In that case we have the classical wasd key layout for the most common tasks

Many of those shortcuts will do other things in browsers unfortunately. there's only a limited number of keys we can use.

Making them configurable is a nice nice-to-have.

On the first two, are the ? and > just . and / ? Or do we need to hit shift too? They both require shift on my american keyboard.

I think making the 3 media player keys in a row somehow is strongly preferred. Zach and I just discussed... idealy those three keys can be executed with one hand. But maybe that's not possible while remaining comfortable. If we move to having to use two hands, then perhaps it opens up more keys, say if we make it cmd+Shift in the right hand and 123 (or asd) in the other. Note also the oTranscribe has two more keys to the right for changing the play speed, which would be nice someday. So ideally we pick something where it's possible later to add those those close by.

which are the shortcuts in the end?

cmd+? is open help menu (mac) ctrl+k is delete line in Slate ctrl+b is move cursor one character back in Slate ctrl+e is move cursor at end of line in Slate cmd/ctrl+a is select all cmd/ctrl+s is save page in browser cmd/ctrl+w is close window

we have:

• cmd/ctrl+j for tc insert (including toggle tc while inside one)
• esc play/pause
• ctrl+[ rewind skip
• ctrl+] forward skip

Esc is working on local videos but not on Youtube videos like these:

Also, would it be possible to make the timecode toggle 3-way as I thought we originally discussed?

This video is not loading in our timeline/player either and the shortcuts aren't working.
