Video Player with Keyboard shortcuts

Please change the player like before or something that we can use arrow keys and space to control it, it's really frustrating to always use the mouse.

The current player seems to support some keyboard shortcuts. Does anyone know of the full list of shortcuts?

I would like to use the keyboard to change the play speed

I can use the space, left and right arrow on an android tablet with bluetooth keyboard. The video player is the Vimeo player.

Vimeo player keyboard shortcuts

Currently working for me on Chromebook.

The problem might be that you don't have focus on the video player when the page initially loads. I found that I had to click on the video player initially to ensure it had focus. After that, all the Vimeo video player controls worked for me.

Quick thought for the webmaster - perhaps use a snippet of javascript to ensure that the video player has focus after the page loads?

Something along the lines of:

document.getElementById("{{insert_video_player_id_here}}").focus();

Cheers!
