My suggestion is programmable (maybe from a list of options) short and long press button controls. E.g. a short press to the right jumps the movie forward 10 seconds, or maybe 30 seconds (user defined), and a long press jumps to the next chapter.
Currently, we can only define short press, and long press is default to fast forward (which can be more easily achieved by pausing and scrolling left and right with the touchpad to seek).
