Please add an option to skip the question popups during video playback and an option to skip other lessons, so that all videos can be played until the end of the course.

shortcuts work but not speed control

Allows me to rewind/fast-forward by 5 seconds with arrow keys, which is extremely helpful to me. I know that wasn't necessarily the main purpose here but it gave me exactly the hotkeys I was looking for.
