Just a quick suggestion although this issue may be closed.

LEFT and RIGHT arrows move back and forwards one frame.  I find it
intuitive to use LEFT and RIGHT with ALT-  or CTRL- to move larger
distances, e.g. 10 frames or 1 second.

Does anyone else find this intuitive/useful?

Status in OpenShot Video Editor: Fix Released

Bug description:
Several buttons unders the preview window, correspond with certain keymappings: 
- Search backwards = 'J'
- Search forwards = 'L'
- Previous marker = <arrow up>
- Next marker = <arrow down>

For the user, it is helpful for learning the app, if these keymappings are displayed as a hint. The hints on the buttons is already there, and could be expanded by naming those shortcuts.

Also (maybe this should be a differrent bug), there seems to be no keyboard shortcut for going to the beginning or the end of the clip. When implemented, Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-End seems to be logical.
