Quickly seek Youtube video playback forwards and backwards by either 3 or 15 seconds.
====================================
What This Extension Does
====================================
This tiny and efficient extension helps you easily seek forwards and backwards in Youtube™ videos. If you ever watch long videos and want to seek backwards a little bit so you can see something again, but get frustrated trying to drag that tiny slider just the right amount, this extension is for you!
This extension will add keyboard shortcuts which let you quickly seek ahead or back by either 3 or 15 seconds (configurable). Additionally, it can also optionally add new buttons to the player which you can click to seek ahead or back.
====================================
Usage
====================================
1) Load any web page that contains a YT-video
2) Click the video to make it play
3) The extension will automatically detect the video and add the new seek buttons to it
4) To seek forwards or backwards, you can either click the buttons, or use the Keyboard Controls
*Note - like many other extensions, any webpages you loaded before installing the extension must be reloaded before the extension will work.
List of Keycombos
http://rehfeld.us/browser-extensions/controls-for-youtube/keyboard-controls
For example, it's really easy to hold your ctrl key and then press your left arrow key twice to quickly go back 6 seconds!
You can configure how far ahead and back each key takes you via the extension config page. Also, if you don't like the buttons that get added to the player, you can disable some or all of them. To see the config page, click the extension icon on the top-right of your browser, then select "options", just like on any other extension. Alternatively, goto the chrome://extensions url, click the "Details" btn for this extension, then click "Extension Options".
TIP: You can skip through some advertisements by just fast forwarding! Try using the "Seek forward to end" keycombo. You can also rewind the ad, if you like.
TIP2: You can modify the seek duration when you click a seek button using the mouse: ctrl + click will be half the normal duration, shift + click will be double, and shift + ctrl + click will be 5x.
Non-Obvious Feature:
Note that the keyboard controls work properly even when you're on a non-youtube.com website which embeds the YT-video into their webpage. When using keycombos, you don't need to give the video "mouse focus" by clicking on it, which allows you to freely interact with the parent web page without worrying about losing mouse focus due to clicking something else. This can be handy, for example, if you've scrolled to the bottom of the page to read comments, and suddenly wish to rewind or pause the video without having to scroll back to the top - just use the keys. While native YT-videos do have their own keycombos to pause the video (the space bar), it only works on non-youtube.com pages when the video currently has mouse focus. This extension offers its own pause control (Ctrl + SpaceBar) which works without the video needing focus. The same goes for all the keycombos - they all work without needing the player to have focus! The browser tab does need focus, however.
Limitation:
-The GUI buttons can only be added to the player if there's enough width - small players may not be wide enough. If you maximize the player, they should show up, or you can always just use the keyboard controls.

- (2023-10-03) Lazba: Thank you!
- (2023-09-23) Whyhrro Derp: Honestly can't use YouTube without this extension
- (2023-09-17) Rafeeq Eroth: Excellent Extension. Very helpful for learning videos etc. Couple of suggestions : Can we have a button to restart the video from the beginning. It would be very useful. And option to select which button is bigger like the buttons in the middle are bigger in size by default even if we assign smaller duration to those buttons.
- (2023-08-14) Anne Tremblay: So simple, so useful. Exactly what I was looking for!!!
- (2023-03-11) Yigit Velioglu: This is exactly what I want. Thanks.
- (2022-08-20) Sergi Sanchez: Very Useful, Thank you. is it possible to add -playback speed reproduction button ?
- (2022-07-06) Gaelion: Very stylish and well integrated. Works great. Thanks!
- (2022-04-25) Shaboogle C: Can also be used to skip ads, or seek and rewind through ads
- (2022-02-20) Michal Baran: Great! but why the shortcut keys are still not configurable after years of waiting? ;)
- (2022-02-04) Samet özbay: Great extension but there is a problem for me. Almost every youtube page i have to reload page, because buttons not showing for first open. Can you fix that or there is a solution can u explain me pls. Thank you.
- (2021-12-07) Ron Turnbull: Used this extension for years and it was great. Then it just stopped working for me a couple of weeks ago. Not sure why...
- (2021-11-05) Just “nowhere” me: WORKS ON YOUTUBE APP on CHROMEBOOKS too: AMAZING 6*
- (2021-09-10) Quint: I can't use YouTube without this extension and thankfully the dev keeps it bang up to date. Thank you.
- (2021-04-17) Acid: Excellent, no frills extension. Adjustable durations, 4 buttons can be added if one does not wish to use key combo. Perfect. Precisely what i was looking for. Can only recommend this. Thank you for the effort and work you're putting into this. Much appreciated.
- (2021-04-09) Alan Finlayson: Fantastic addon! I sometimes watch very long videos and it's really annoying trying to go back and forward to specific parts of the video with the base YT controls. By default the Left and Right arrows are +/-5 seconds, but my setup with computer connected to TV it isn't always convenient to use the keyboard just to do skips. So I finally decided to look for an extension and this is exactly what I wanted. Simple clickable buttons. Thank you!
- (2021-03-04) Viet Nguyen Tran: nice tool, I love it
- (2021-01-21) Wojtek Hawryłko: Great extension, I'd give it 5 stars if there was an option to place the rewind buttons directly after the "play" button (that way the added buttons wouldn't change position when we hover the mouse over volume slider), and if there was no empty space between these buttons when only a set of two smaller is enabled. :)
- (2021-01-17) Lee - S: I'm a geek for having a ton of really useful Chrome Extension Tools. So having this is nice. However, the UI could be made to look better.
- (2021-01-02) Sgt: This extension is pretty good. I would see this as a 5 star extension if: - The shortcut keys were configurable - The shortcut keys were global shortcut keys (worked even when the focus element is not on video player) 2021-01-02 - I had rated this Extension as 3 stars in Jan 2019. After 1 year of using it ➔ 5 stars. EVEN with my previous suggestions. Controls for Youtube seriously rocks.
- (2020-12-04) Walaa Deyab: Thanks a lot! It's very helpful!
- (2020-11-17) Blake Belnap: Just what I was looking for. I'll check the project details for donate options. Regards.
- (2020-11-13) rose: This extension is good. I have had it for approximately 47 seconds. It also works with ads which is amazing!!
- (2020-11-07) TNT The cool video maker: idk how to start kinemaster because there isnt a file to start the app!
- (2020-10-19) Mesut Toker: This is exactly what I want. Thanks.
- (2020-10-16) Dan Nissenbaum: A critical extension for people doing serious work with videos (such as my purpose - research). The absence of rapid, easy scrolling in time back and forward in a video simply prevents use of videos in research. This extension solves this problem. Thanks for writing it! Serious problem uncovered, so I had to drop my review to 3 stars. This extension hijacks the "Ctrl + Shift + Arrow" combination on ALL web pages, even ones that have no YouTube video playing. This prevents use of these keyboard shortcuts in editor panes, so there's no way to use the keyboard shortcut to select an entire word, for example. There is no way to configure the keyboard shortcuts in this extension, so unfortunately I must disable the extension for normal daily use of Chrome (outside of watching a YouTube video).
- (2020-09-18) alacrala彼全: Util :D
- (2020-08-31) Cristo Fernandes: Fantastic and simple to use controls, and great updates and support.
- (2020-08-26) Michael Xz: great except that it doesn't work when there are timestamps in the video (i.e. when the progressbar is segmented)
- (2020-08-11) Камал Хафизов: When the video has chapters on the rewind line (new YouTube feature), the rewind buttons do not appear.
- (2020-08-11) 3D Model Designer: Amazing extension, thank you for your efforts!! The unfortunate thing for this extension, almost a week now it has stopped working, so unhappy about it because I've had it for quite some time that I still try to go and use them and they're not there.😢
- (2020-08-09) Christian Seidlitz: before the last update of youtube, this would have been a 5* review, but it suddenly stopped working at all. just as it wasnt working a short while before that, when a video had the new sections thingy active. sad. plz fix!
- (2020-08-05) Dylan Wang: I updated to version 1.28, but the buttons are still disappeared from youtube video player.

- (2020-07-31) Marco Navarrete: No esta funcionando
- (2020-07-31) Anti Fashist: Привет! Пропали кнопки перемотки, расширение перестало работать! Почему? Почините пожалуйста! Ставлю пять звёзд, Так как до этого Расширение работало шикарно!
- (2020-07-20) Vinh Nguyen Van: Good , i set skip forward from 5s (original) to 2s , to learn listen english :D Thanks Gov. Gavin Newsom , Cali :D
- (2020-04-16) radhe govinda: Just recently I noticed that after pausing a video that when I restarted the video it would play slower than normal with the audio being distorted into a lower register. It turns out that it was this extension causing that to happen. I am assuming this was caused by a Chrome update. I am using a Linux based distro.
