Thanks. Handy to know but it looks like that moves it ahead or back by 1 second, according to the timeline, so that would be much more than a frame.
In YouTube, there are two different forward/back sets of controls. There are the standard arrow keys that are usually off to the side of the keyboard and they really look like arrows -> and <-. Those are five seconds, usually.
Well, you don't actually type < and >. You actually type those without shifting up to them, so you are really typing "," and ".". If you shift, you get something else....
Youtube also uses j for 5 seconds back, k for pause/unpause and l for fast forward 5 seconds. I think it had something to do with hjkl being used for some programming language, kind of an easter egg from the programmers and also on the home key row.In YouTube, there are two different forward/back sets of controls.

In addition, there are keys that look sort of like arrows. Those are the "greater than" key > and the "less than" key <. If a YouTube video is paused, and you press < or >, the video will move a frame back or forward.
Sometimes you have to wait for the video to catch up to the single step commands. I think that's because video systems are made to stream forward and single stepping is abnormal.
(That something else, which I just discovered is speed up/slow down for properly shifted > and <. You can do it while the video is running. A list of keyboard shortcuts in YouTube is available by typing "?")
I get 10 seconds using the j and l.
Ah, got it. Thanks! After playing with that I see that Shane's 1 ball takes flight and jumps away from the rack upon CB impact. Although I have watched hundreds of matches on YT, I just discovered the speed control from the gear icon menu, so I need all the help I can get. At most, I've been rewinding and watching certain shots or breaks.In YouTube, there are two different forward/back sets of controls.

The mystery deepens... when I use j or l it alternately increments by 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, rinse, repeat.
I think the hjkl connection dates to about 1978 and the vi full-screen text editor. My current avatar is where it was developed by Bill Joy, a fellow research assistant. Here is some info from Wikipedia:
Ah yes, used vi many a time.... do you still use it or something more modern? I've settled on Ubuntu and mostly use their GUI based editor.
I was going to my table at Hard Times that was the next one past where Hill Billy was playing a local. I didn't know him and didn't know he was in town. As I was walking past his table he broke and I flinched and damn near dropped my rack of balls. What an explosion! I then watched him play for awhile and he had an amazing break and played pretty darn sporty as well.
