Description
Youtube currently has an annoying behaviour where if the volume slider is adjusted using the mouse, the left and right arrow keys change to adjusting the volume rather than the video time. This is annoying because when this happens, there are no other shortcuts to seek back and forward 5 seconds and the only way to return it back to normal is to pause and unpause the video or click on the seek bar, which would change the time. I do not know why they added such useless and inconvenient behaviour. A workaround for it would be ideal. I know 10 second seek can be used to avoid this but I much rather use 5 second seek because it is much more convenient.

Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the extension's keyboard-shortcut and video-volume handling code, then determine how a five-second seek and a configurable seek amount should behave when the volume slider has focus. Done means the shortcuts work reliably in that state and the selected interval is covered by tests or documented verification.
