Lbry-desktop: Video player keyboard shortcuts

Created on 11 Sep 2019  路  7Comments  路  Source: lbryio/lbry-desktop

We already do have https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/issues/2159 (which was added then removed) and https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/issues/1395 filed for shortcuts, but I wanted to get a separate issue filed specifically for ones related to the video player.

A few users have asked for the ability to full screen and skip around with arrow keys. Volume control would be another good one. We should look at YouTube to see what other shortcuts they support.

@pankajpatel @ahmedkrmn the solution most likely involves binding to key events and performing the appropriate corresponding action in videoViewer/view.jsx.

I love this feature and would love to see it in the app. I would like to try some fiddle and see where it goes.

Awesome, thanks for taking a look! I added the Hacktoberfest label for you also. Check out https://lbry.com/news/hacktoberfest-2019

Can I work on the issue?

Looks like someone claimed it already. @pankajpatel are you still planning to work on it?

Yes, I am checking for solutions available around the internet.
@ahmedkrmn Please go ahead if you have solution in mind; I had something in mind, though it didn't work as expected.

Above MR #2999 is what I came up with; mimicking some of youtube KB shortcuts
