The question now is: is "bisect" the right word here, which a native English speaker would use? Or should it rather be "halve"? Or something completely different?
Bisect isn't correct. Bisecting means to cut something into 2 parts. Using "halve" doesn't make sense. Binary doesn't either for that matter. My suggestion is to call it "adaptive skipping".
"adaptive skip value": Defines the how many seconds to skip forward/back when pressing 1/3. Valid range is 10-600.
"adaptive skip alternate behavior": If enabled, adaptive skipping will only adjust the adaptive skip value with key presses that change the skip direction. Otherwise, the skip value is halved with every key press.
"adaptive skipping reset": Defines how long to wait without a key press before resetting the adaptive skip value back to its original setting.
That to me describes what those do much better. Btw, the definitions seemed like they could use a touch-up too so I threw in suggestions for those as well. :)

Hi, I would use the term "Binary Search" in the description in the manual etc. that way all IT "Types" would know how it works, but it has a very low WAF, so no way should an end user get to see that term.
I guess the end user should get to see the term "skip" somewhere, then they will know what is meant immediately, I guess "adaptive skipping" is a good description.
My 5 cents worth.
Cheers Brian
