Jump from subtitle to subtitle WITH the video (w/o having to hit play again) #202

Useful tool when proofreading one's work.
The gist is not only to jump to the next /previous ST, a shortcut that already exists and works fine, but to have the video jump as well, without pausing. It greatly facilitates proofreading, you can jump smoothly from one subtitle to the next AND have the video/audio follow along, playing without breaking stride.
Having to hit "play" at every subtitle is a bit lackluster, and turns proofreading into a time-consuming task (you either have to hit play constantly, or... wait for the next subtitle, which is a waste of time when you've already seen the ep once.)
Thanks.

In case you're not aware, you can seek the video and keep it playing by middle-clicking in the audio display. This is how I usually quickly scroll through the video.

Another workflow I sometimes use is binding an easily accessible key (H for me, limited to the subtitle grid) to the pause/play command and enabling automatic seeking to the active line. Then I can click and press the key in one motion, which reduces friction a lot.

That said, an option to make the automatic seek to the active line not pause the video seems sensible. Adding config options for every little thing can be a slippery slope, but I'd say it makes sense here.

Thanks, I'll try these out! TBH, I'm trying to avoid lifting my hands from the keyboard when I work, to minimize the shuffling around. (carpal tunnel, my unbeloved)
But thanks a lot for the input!
