Hi, Use cmd-right to fast forward and cmd-left to rewind. The space bar will play/pause. If in fast forward or rewind mode, a second press of the keyboard command increases the speed. For example, the first press of cmd-right will fast forward at 2X speed. Pressing it a second time increases to 5X speed, then 10X, I believe that it is 30X. The press after 30X brings it back to 1X speed, but you’ll need to press the space bar to restart playback. I suggest that you leave focus on the play/pause button so you can ensure that the space bar action is pressing the play/pause button when you press.
