Have you tried 5s steps? I really prefer 5s steps over fast
forward/rewind. With mplayer-plugin I have 6 buttons for 5s steps, 1min
steps and 10min steps, and IMO you skip faster to the right place, than
with fast forward/rewind. Perhaps it's just me...

Yes, that's fine. But what's the problem with a second skip-value for
buttons 1 and 3?

For adjusting a clock, it's perhaps ok, but IMO for audio/video it's
not the best ergonomics.

I agree to keep it simple. But would you approve a patch, that adds
just one further key pair (1 + 3) for a second skip value?
The patch would be really simpler and the user experience would be
enhanced!
Or a Boolean configuration option for making 5s-skips instead of fast
forward/rewind?
