It's kind of annoying because when you try to write a comment and use the arrow keys to move the cursor left or right.. It also fastforwards/Rewinds the video. I tried unchecking the two "Should..." options but still doesn't do anything

I don't know why YouTube doesn't natively offer these controls. Use this all the time. Some videos seem to somehow block this extension, but it otherwise works great.
