Add some new keyboard shortcuts for moving around on the timeline

"Add some new keyboard shortcuts for moving around on the timeline" is listed as a new feature of the upcoming versions. I cannot find what these shortcuts are (and can they be changed)? Are they specific to Video Player or the Creator?

This workflow/feature changelog usually starts with the first version of the release - in this case, 2.15(.0). Can't remember when the keyboard shortcuts went into it, but it may be a long time ago already, since 2.15.x is out for ages now.

Maybe the manual should have a separate section on keyboard shortcuts.

Indeed, I upgraded from 2.14 just yesterday. I would like to know what these shortcuts are, not when they were added. (I do not think DCP-o-Matic has its shortcuts documented in a comprehensive fashion anywhere).

I added a basic shortcut section to the manual for 2.15.x (which will become 2.16.0 just as soon as possible...!)

Thankyou. And so the keyboard shortcuts for moving around on a timeline are just these three:
Left arrow Move back one frame
Right arrow Move forward one frame
Space Start/stop playback
?

I would suggest
Right arrow+ctrl Move forward 10 frames
Right arrow+shift Move forward one seconds
Right arrow+ctrl+shift Move forward ten seconds
PageDown Move forward one minute
PageDown+ctrl Move forward ten minutes
End Move to the end minutes

(even better would be if these actions were configurable, but I am not crazy about them).
