Problem Description

I often read the video comments too. However, if I want to jump quickly to the video, I can't use the “Home key” to do so, but have to scroll up laboriously.

Proposed Solution

The Home key on the keyboard is a commonly used key for jumping to the top of the page. Therefore, I request that this key will be activated in FreeTube.

Alternatives Considered

nothing further

new keyboard shortcut

I am aware, of course, that I can jump to the beginning of the video using the “Home” key if the focus is on the video player. This key should also be enabled so that you can jump to the beginning of the page when the focus is not on the video player but on the comments.

FYI it works on all pages but the Watch page

All of our player keyboard shortcuts are global, so we would have to choose between home and end keeping their current behaviour of going to the start and the end of the video or scrolling to the top and the bottom of the page.

Player shortcuts are priority nr 1 on the Watch page. Closing because we cant do anything about this
