Add keyboard shortcuts for video player #939

Closed robertknight closed 1 year ago

robertknight commented 1 year ago

Implement keyboard shortcuts for basic functionality in the viewer. I suggest we use the YouTube shortcuts as a reference.

I don't think we need to implement all the shortcuts that YouTube has, but a few basic ones that would be useful:

Play/pause the video (Space/k in YT)
Mute/unmute ("m" in YT)
Focus the transcript search bar ("/" in YT focuses the general search bar)

Also some that our custom to our app:

Sync the transcript location with the video
Turn automatic scrolling of transcript on/off

A basic set of shortcuts was added in https://github.com/hypothesis/via/pull/943. We can add more as we think of them.
