Feature request
Add playback speed controls so users can change how fast audio/video plays back.
Proposed UI
- Playback speed buttons (or a speed picker/menu) in the player controls, e.g.:
- Common presets:
0.5×, 0.75×, 1×, 1.25×, 1.5×, 1.75×, 2×
- Optional: custom/fine-grained speed if that fits the player UX
Proposed keyboard shortcuts
Suggested defaults (adjust to match existing shortcut conventions):
| Shortcut |
Action |
] |
Increase playback speed |
[ |
Decrease playback speed |
\ or 0 |
Reset to 1× |
(If [ / ] conflict with existing bindings, alternatives like Shift+. / Shift+, or Cmd+Shift+> / Cmd+Shift+< would work too.)
Why
- Faster review of long recordings/podcasts/talks
- Slower speed for language learning, dense technical content, or careful listening
- Keyboard control keeps hands on the keyboard during listening sessions
Acceptance criteria
Notes
Happy to refine presets, default shortcuts, or UI placement based on maintainer preference.
