Very useful. Exactly what I needed. Why the 60s limit, though?

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 EDIT: No solution/reply was provided since the initial 11.17.2024 review. -1 star = 2/5 stars
