Vimeo: playback-speed shortcuts

Lets you change playback speed with the bracket keys and reset to normal speed with backslash.

Code to copy

// Change playback speed with the bracket keys [ and ]
document.addEventListener('keydown', function (e) {
  const tag = (e.target.tagName || '').toLowerCase();
  if (tag === 'input' || tag === 'textarea' || e.target.isContentEditable) return;
  const v = document.querySelector('video');
  if (!v) return;
  if (e.key === ']') { v.playbackRate = Math.min(4, v.playbackRate + 0.25); }
  else if (e.key === '[') { v.playbackRate = Math.max(0.25, v.playbackRate - 0.25); }
  else if (e.key === '\\') { v.playbackRate = 1; }
});
