YouTube Speed Control

@jonatasandrade It seems to be problematic to add shortcuts
I mean, the shortcut YouTube provides basically takes a backward/forward step and does not decrease/increase by a fixed rate
E.g. if you're on speed 1, pressing Shift +,will take you to 0.75, not to the minimum, 0.25
The question is, what would the user expect to happen when having a custom one? To get to the previous/next stop point? -

@avi12 For me at least, inc / dec by a fixed interval (like 0.25) is good enough. Within the extension I used at Chrome, that was the standard interval, but it was customizable, so the user could assign any interval desired.

@jonatasandrade Sounds good, but what if you set the speed to something like 1.1? Should pressing Shift +
.take you to 1.25? -

@avi12 That's one way of doing it. In the extension I used, I suppose they just stored current speed in some variaible, and whenever+ shortcut was hit, it would increment by 0.25, and - shortcut would decrease by 0.25. Not percentages of actual speed, just a set interval.
I set mine to increase by +0.15 and decrease by 0.10, so I'd get some odd speed like 1.35.
But that would be easy to fix: include a shortcut to put back speed to 1x. So if somehow the user messes things to the point of getting lost, it could switch back to normal with ease.

@jonatasandrade Sounds good, I will implement it when I have the time for it
If you could open an issue about it, it'd be easier for me to track -

@jonatasandrade: I pushed version 2.1.0, which introduces the keyboard shortcuts feature. Thanks for your suggestion!

The shortcut 'Shift' + '>' can't increase the speed more than 2x when I switch the keyboard to Russian layout. In Russian layout 'Shift' + '<' and 'Shift' + '>' work by default, as without YouTube Speed Control addon, these shortcuts change speed from 0.25x to 2x only. Generally in Russian layout I can't print '<' or '>', these keys print Russian letters: Б, Ю. May be this can help to understand and fix. I have seen similar problems with none working shortcuts in other addons too. May be there is simple solution?

Great Add-on!
But I think it need a bugfix by now. Since it has some lag issues on the interface, like huge typeLag on the textboxes/searchbars.
