I'm using 14.04 ubuntu with the default video player called "Videos" version 3.10.1 (which seems to be "Totem" re-branded with an even less search engine-friendly name.)

I know keyboard shortcuts work, as I've accidentally found a few (example: "Q" quits the entire program without a warning prompt), but I can't seem to find a comprehensive list either in the online or built-in help. Can anyone point me toward one?

Known so far:

q quit

Left arrowskip backward 15 sec

Right arrow skip ahead 1 minute

Shift+Left arrow skip backwards 5 sec

Shift+Right arrow skip ahead 15 sec

  • Thanks, I'm not sure how I missed that. Surely search engines index these pages but even keybindings totem -warcraft has a bad S/N ratio
