What I would be willing to accept is a patch that makes the skip delta of the yellow and green keys (currently a fixed +/-60s) configurable.
Yes, that's fine. But what's the problem with a second skip-value for buttons 1 and 3?
If the skip amount can configurable then each user can set it to his own liking and no extra buttons needed. That seems like the simplest & best solution in my opinion. Can you think of any setup that actually uses several skip buttons? Skipping doesn't need to be complicated or require a handful of buttons. Allow the user to set his preferred skip+ and skip- amounts, and done deal. :)
The question was "What's the problem?". Do you have an answer? Of course the default setting can be "no second skip-value", nothing would change for users. But for my personal setup I'll use 2 buttons for 5s-steps and 2 buttons for 60s-steps. If I could do that without patching VDR, that would be really nice.
