• Problem 01:
The space-bar should *always* act as Play/Pause. But at the moment, clicking on any of the Picture-in-Picture icons first, will force the space-bar to change its function from that moment on. Meaning, if for example, you click on rewind first and then hit the space-bar to pause/resume the video, the video won't pause/resume, it instead goes back another 5 seconds. In other words, the space-bar will assume the function of the last icon you've mouse-click on. Whether the last icon you clicked on was backward/forward/mute/Fullscreen, the space-bar continues triggering that function. Which is obviously wrong.
Solution: As long as the Picture-in-Picture window is in focus, regardless of what Picture-in-Picture icon you mouse-clicked on previously, the following keys *MUST ALWAYS* act as following:
Space-bar: Toggle Play/Pause
Left-Arrow: Backward
Right-Arrow: Forward
Up-Arrow: Increase Volume
Down-Arrow: Decrease Volume
F: Enter/Exit Fullscreen
Five Shortcut Suggestions:
Please also add these shortcuts like YouTube:
M: Mute/Unmute
C: Toggle Captions ON/OFF (without having to first enable it on the main YouTube video)
,: Previous frame (while paused) very useful
.: Next frame (while paused) very useful
< (SHIFT+,): Decrease playback rate
> (SHIFT+.): Increase playback rate
• Problem 02:
When Picture-in-Picture was first introduced, when you paused a fullscreen video using your keyboard, as long as the mouse cursor was outside the window, the OSD didn't show up. Which believe it or not was amazing, because a lot of times, people pause a video to read or observe something in that particular frame of the video, and its extremely annoying to have the OSD show up on top and bottom of the screen as soon as you pause a fullscreen video by hitting the space-bar.
Solution: Please go back to the first iteration of Picture-in-Picture, meaning, as long as we keep the mouse cursor outside the window, none of the keyboard functions should bring up the OSD on top and bottom of a fullscreen video.
The only time we should see the OSD, is when we actually hover the cursor on the fullscreen video.
At the moment, sometimes it acts the way I'm asking for, sometimes it doesn't.
Thank you FireFox.
