4 years ago Good morning from Boston! Thanks so much for writing in. I love hearing that you're using this in the classroom and I'd love to help build features that you mention :-)
I can see the issue with that hot key. It was accidentally removed in v2.1.0, my apologies. I'll add it back and make a release tonight.
Just for clarification, the hot key turns off the second subtitles (and other app features, like the action buttons over the player), does that match your use case?
I like your idea of skipping video the video by the captions. It wouldn't be hard to create, feel free to "watch" this repository to get email updates when I make a new release.

Hello, mikesteele! I'm an english teacher in Brazil and a big fan of your application, it helps a lot my students to gather new vocabulary as well as practicing their pronunciation while watching their favorite shows!
However, there seems to be a bug with the Turn on/off caption shortcut of the extension. Whenever we click Option/Alt + D, the captions provided by the app don't disappear/show up when we want. There's this activity in which I usually tell my students to watch the whole video with the native language caption off, and only turn it on whenever they see a word/sentence/term/expression they don't understand, just so they compare it with the text in portuguese to learn more vocabulary. For this activity, a keyboard shortcut like Alt + D is really, really helpful because it saves a lot of time, but it's not working...
Also, I would like to add a suggestion to the app, there could be "return and advance" buttons like these ( |< ) ( >| ) to advance and return the video through the subtitles, instead of clicking the arrows on the keyboard to return/advance 5/10 seconds on the show... Something like what I've seen on an application called "Simin", an Android double caption app for youtube videos. It could also be helpful because sometimes students lose track of the captions when characters speak too fast.
