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?

Hi everyone,


I have a question which I need to find out and make life easier.


Does anyone know how I can activate the fast forward F9 button by say increments of 5 / 10 / 15 seconds or F7 backwards on OS or OSX - how would I configure this whether via the Keyboard shortcut under system preferences or a third party plugin?


Such an example would definitely be while using Youtube. Currently I can Play/Pause a video by pressing F8 when I am watching regardless what window I am in or program etc. say even a web browser or another software/program but how do I simply re-program the F7 and F9 keys for Youtube or for an active Video player so I can go back in increments of 5, 10 or 15 seconds? Is there a third party free or paid version of a plugin?



Thanks so much in advance!


Steve
