Navigating the video player UI with a keyboard

[myluki2000]

Summary

Currently, when using fladder desktop/web, the arrow keys on the keyboard allow navigation through the UI, except in the video player. There, the arrow keys allow seeking and volume control. When using fladder with a mouse, this makes sense, but in a mouse-less environment, this means the only way to navigate the video player UI is using the TAB key, which is very cumbersome.

Basic Example

On TV's (for example using Fladder's Android TV version), you can navigate in the video player using the arrow keys on the remote. Making this possible on PC with the keyboard arrow keys would allow users to use fladder desktop in a "TV-like" setup with just a keyboard - or even a controller simulating the arrow keys using its D-Pad.

Drawbacks

Seeking with the arrow keys would not be possible anymore. Thus, I suggest making the keyboard navigation an optional feature which can be enabled in the settings.
