On 2005, I used to watch movies with Kaffeine, and had handy shortcuts to skip backwards and forwards - the cursor arrows left/right, or clicking with the mouse on the progress bar. Now with 2007.1 I'm using KMPlayer (because Kaffeine playback was too choppy, and KMPlayer was much smoother) but I miss these navigation commands - the only ones I can see are play, pause and stop.

Is there a way to skip back/forward with KMPlayer? The cursor keys do nothing, I can't find menu options, or toolbar buttons, and when I click on the progress bar the only effect is to jump back a second or so, nothing like where I clicked. Grabbing and dragging the progress bar works but it's fiddly for fine control.

The cursor keys work when video is viewed by right clicking the file and selecting the embedded mplayer option from the popup menu.

Actually you have to click on the movie before using the keys. I don't know why it must be a bug in kmplayer cause in plain mplayer it just works. The keys are:
left\right = 10 seconds forward\back
up\down = 1 minute
PageUp\PageDown = 10 minutes
and it works much better than it worked in Kaffeine. At least for me.

Thanks guys, changing the "Play with" to MPlayer did the trick, now I can not only jump backwards and forwards but also speed up / slow down etc etc. Much better.

Kind of a hidden option though, makes you wonder why the default is Xine which doesn't appear to offer any navigation at all!
