> Ever tried to move that YT video slider to a specific position but your mouse moves too jumpy and suddenly you are moving your hand super-carefully like you're 5 and playing "Operation" all over again?
On YouTube specifically, you can scrub through a video frame-by-frame using the , (comma) and . (period) keys, no custom hardware required. :-)
"fine grained" is relative, but you can go forwards/backwards 10 seconds in YouTube Android by doubletapping to the left/right of center on a video. If it's paused, doubletap to the left/right of the play button. It should also work on iOS, but I don't have an iPhone so can't confirm.
I use iOS and can confirm that double tap on left or right side works to jump forward backward there too. I often use it when I watch a video and I miss what was said so I jump back a bit and watch again.
1. There is enough room. Works fine for media controls where the bar is near the bottom of the screen, but not for sliders in most other places
2. The control is not close enough to the bottom of the screen for swipe up to trigger the multitasking action
There are many other reasons to have fine-grain control for sliders and imo “hold longer for finer control” works in more places than “slide up for finer control”
That's nice. Btw, I'm curious, what kinda mouse do you guys use that makes you hold your breath while you scroll? I believe mice these days are super precise and works pretty well.
