Remap Youtube Shortcuts? Keep visual feedback. (Display default YouTube icons and overwrite default shortcuts)

[Mike-Correa]

Functions like increase/decrease volume, seek forward/backward and increase/decrease playback speed have by default a set of icons that are displayed on screen when you use the default keyboard shortcuts for that. But using custom shortcuts from ImprovedTube 2.0 doesn't have the same effect. In fact no visual feedback is shown at all, so it's impossible to know at what speed the video is being reproduced, for example.

A nice fix for this would be to simply remap the default keyboard shortcuts, without changing the original behavior of the functions. This would ensure that the functions work as intended, with visual feedback being displayed, and also it would prevent double hotkeys and conflicting hotkeys, because currently, when a shortcut is created, the default shortcuts aren't disabled.

If it's not possible to remap the keys of the original fuctions, then disabling them when a custom key is added would be the best option. But the correct visual feedback is essential.

redirecting shortcuts would be possible, Can you list something we are missing and should redirect?

with visual feedback being displayed,

we now have feedback, maybe not the prettiest one but it works :)

fixed, afaik all default YT shortcuts can be overridden disabling original ones
