How to rewind (F7 command) or fast forward(F9) just like the F8 button plays/pauses a video on a last active video playing browser such as youtube etc?

I figured it out!

I used Better touch tool!

If anyone wants to know, I happily take donations hehe jks!

This is what I did.

I copied this script code below instead or/ what was provided by BDAqua:

tell application "Google Chrome"

  repeat with t in tabs of windows

    tell t

        execute javascript "

      var player = document.querySelector('video');

      player.currentTime = player.currentTime + 10;

      "

        exit repeat

      end if

    end tell

  end repeat

end tell

But first I created a trigger action in Better touch tool under "Keyboard shortcuts" then pressed f9 for forward hotkey, then created an action for Run applescript in background pasted the code, Run/Compile and saved then lastly tried it out.

For rewind F7 you can replace the + sign for a - , the same code for everything.

For F8 play/pause you don't need to do anything, this already works for Youtube.

I wanted to find out what Applescript would it be for VLC player - could anyone provide a script for this F7, F8 and F9 keys?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks so much guys!

This is what I have done in Karbiner app - is this correct? is there something else I need to do? As it does not rewind or fast forward the youtube video in Google chrome or an active player?

See screenshot.

I have done this in Keyboard Maestro but I can't get it to activate the current or last activated video in google chrome playing a video I have tried recording feature too but it's the closest I can do to try and get it working.

see screenshot.

I have tried tunring on and off function keys from System preferences under Keyboard and recording the fn key and pressing F9 and playign around but it does work, but it does work but does not work the same way F8 is used to play the current playing video in Youtube. I need to be in the youtube tab in chrome and be watchign the video or tutorial etc. and then it works, but if I navigate away it does not work by pressing the f9 key.

Applescript I have no clue how to do or use with Automnator a little confused with this.

any more help or ideas would be good.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

I haven't been able to configure out any of them at all!

It comes across as very confusing I have tried but they don't work or wont allow me to setup the keys.

Are there any other possible ways?

Thanks,

Steve

Hello,

This is all too confusing.

Is there any simple way to achieve this?

Thanks

Hello,

Is there anyway you could cut it short for me and tell me where to put this Apple script and get it working across google chrome, I'm very new to this mac script topic.

thankyou so much!

Steve

does anyone know how to actually do this?

How would I make it work for VLC player?

thanks =)
