[Enhancement]: Keyboard Shortcuts in the web-app (e.g. to add bookmark, increase decrease speed, etc.)

Type of Enhancement

None

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

As a user, it'd be great to have more control over the web-app with just the keyboard. As I'm listening to things, I'd find it really useful to be able to add/ review bookmarks with just a shortcut. I can't be alone

Why would this be helpful?

Maintain a state of flow (e.g. for bookmarks/ note, you must used the keyboard to type things out - right now, you have to leave the keyboard, grab the mouse to click on UI elements, get back to the keyboard, repeat).

Can you get more specific on the key board shortcuts you would like?

[petruut]

absolutely - the ones I can think of:

• next/ previous chapter
• increase speed, decrease speed of playback (e.g. the Shift + ">" / "<" of Youtube)
• add bookmark (e.g. CMD + B to bring up the bookmarks/ notes AND set the cursor ready to type, which should be dismissible with Esc to return to the main player)

[advplyr]

These are the current hotkeys

  AudioPlayer: {
    PLAY_PAUSE: 'Space',
    JUMP_FORWARD: 'ArrowRight',
    JUMP_BACKWARD: 'ArrowLeft',
    VOLUME_UP: 'ArrowUp',
    VOLUME_DOWN: 'ArrowDown',
    MUTE_UNMUTE: 'KeyM',
    SHOW_CHAPTERS: 'KeyL',
    INCREASE_PLAYBACK_RATE: 'Shift-ArrowUp',
    DECREASE_PLAYBACK_RATE: 'Shift-ArrowDown',
    CLOSE: 'Escape'
  },

that's useful. The bookmark functionality would also be really good to add.
