 From time to time, I hear people complain about the keyboard shortcuts
to skip back and forth in Totem. I have to say, it took me quite some
time to get used to it, and just now, someone said they wanted to
switch to VLC because of it.

As a reminder, here are the shortcuts I'm talking about: (from
http://reuben.honigwachs.de/2010/01/totem-keyboard-shortcuts-useless.html)
Left arrow: Go back 15 seconds
Right arrow: Go forward 60 seconds
Shift+Left arrow: Go back 5 seconds
Shift+Right arrow: Go forward 15 seconds
Ctrl+Left arrow: Go back 3 minutes
Ctrl+Right arrow: Go forward 10 minutes

These doesn't make much sense to me. It's nice that we can modify the
skip using shift and control, but why doesn't left and right
correspond?
Correspond to what? While I agree that using shift and control might be strange for a newcomer, I think left and right are the obvious keys for back/forward. Doesn't every player on Earth use those?
I think Totem would be a more user friendly mediaplayer if
these keys were given slightly more "intuitive" values.
Can you suggest a better key set? I can't think of any, except using only left/right with a 'long press to accelerate' feature or something like that.
