Video keyboard shortcuts?

I see that 'F' makes it go to full screen. And space of course pauses. Any shortcuts for changing speed?

Aaron Andrade, the left and right arrow keys allow you to move forward and backward in a video, too!

Thanks Christopher. But none for acceleration or deceleration, right? Those would be handy; I keep moving between normal speed, 1.5 and 2x...

Yes. Even "Video Speed Controller" Chrome extension is somehow disabled for Treehouse. ?

2 years later still no video speed shortcut?

UX Team: Video Speed Controller is one of the most popular Chrome Extensions in the world for a reason...

I need to watch videos at at least 3x to 4x speed for content I already know (unfortunately this is not possible with the treehouse video playback interface). I also need the ability to rapidly shift between speeds via a keyboard shortcut. Can some one please figure out a hack to enable video speed playback controller or perhaps some JavaScript code that can be typed into the console to do so (I can map the code to a keyboard shortcut).
