Rejected Replays: Add keyboard shortcuts to control the speed

[Tbolt]

Essentially, I would like to be able to use my keyboard to change the replay to play at hyperfast speed, fast speed, etc, and also update the help command to show that users can change the speed using these keyboard shortcuts.

Example shortcuts (doesn't have to be adhered to):

• h - Hyperfast
• f - Fast
• n - Normal
• s - Slow
• r - Really slow

You can use the > and < shortcut to make to make the replay faster and slower respectively.

Type ? in a replay to see a list of all the keyboard shortcuts available.

I see; the help command only said "slower" and "faster," which I didn't really notice. I would probably reword the help command to more clearly reflect that the replay will play slower/faster.

This doesn't take away from the value I feel that having these keyboard shortcuts will have; pressing a single key to immediately change the speed is far more ergonomic than Shift + ., especially if I need to do it multiple times to get to hyperfast, for example.

I'm not a huge fan of this one...

`<` and `>` match YouTube's keyboard shortcuts for changing playback speed. And using up five keys would take up a lot of possible keyboard shortcuts from possible future features. For instance, `f` for fullscreen (which would also match the YouTube shortcut).

That, and you've only gotten one Like so far. Unless there's a huge outpouring of support here, I'm going to have to say I'm not accepting this, and this should be a browser extension if you really want it.
