Status in OpenShot Video Editor: New

Bug description:
I don't know how to make a wishlist type of enquiry. Somehow somebody can change status/severity to wish.

Now to the wish:
Video editing is much easier with jog wheel. With a jog wheel you can frame step and easily play reverse&forward with different speeds to search for cut point. There is a relatively cheap device by Countour Desing, ShuttleXpress jog wheel.

What I am wishing it to have more keyboard shortcuts or something to have multiple speed playback. Openshot 1.0.0 has J,K,L keys to control speed, but that is not enough.

For example numeric keys (+ play forward, - is play backwards), number is speed
1 -400%
2 -200%
3 -100%
4 -50%
5 stop
6 +50%
7 +100%
8 +200%
9 +400%

Naturally more playback speeds should be supported, as ShuttleExpress supports 7-8 speeds per direction, frame step wheel and 5 buttons.

I think the support is via linevent which can forward keypresses by USB HID ShuttleExpress to Openshot. So just openshot should support more trick speed playbacks.
