Playback controls seek by frames or seconds within timeline bounds and pause active playback. Shortcut help and 11 locale files include the new shortcut entries. ChangesEditor playback shortcuts

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to On non-60-fps footage, frame-step shortcuts may not advance by exactly one source frame, making precise navigation unreliable. The editor remains usable, so this is a bounded issue for owner awareness or follow-up. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

In `@src/components/video-editor/hooks/useEditorGlobalInteractions.ts`:
- Around line 113-123: Update the persisted-shortcut loading loop over
SHORTCUT_ACTIONS to reject bindings that match any binding in FIXED_SHORTCUTS,
leaving the corresponding default in merged; continue restoring valid saved
bindings as before.
In `@src/components/video-editor/hooks/useEditorPlaybackControls.ts`:
- Around line 73-74: Pass the active frame rate from
useTimelineEditingController to both frame-step callbacks invoked by
useEditorGlobalInteractions, so keyboard stepping uses the timeline’s FPS
instead of useEditorPlaybackControls’ 60 FPS default; add a keyboard-step test
at a non-60 FPS rate.
- Line 75: In useEditorPlaybackControls, update all three step callbacks to
calculate from a ref holding the latest seek target instead of the render-scoped
timelinePlayheadTime, and update the ref whenever a callback sets a target.
Reconcile the ref with timelinePlayheadTime when that value changes so
subsequent steps use the latest position across renders.
In `@src/components/video-editor/KeyboardShortcutsHelp.tsx`:
- Line 82: Update the frame row in KeyboardShortcutsHelp to include ← / →, and
add a help row for the Alt + ← / → keyframe-jump shortcuts. Keep the displayed
bindings consistent with FIXED_SHORTCUTS.
In `@src/i18n/locales/es/editor.json`:
- Around line 155-156: Update the stepFrame and stepSecond labels to use
direction-neutral wording for stepping in both directions. In
src/i18n/locales/es/editor.json (155-156), src/i18n/locales/fr/editor.json
(155-156), src/i18n/locales/it/editor.json (155-156),
src/i18n/locales/nl/editor.json (156-157), src/i18n/locales/pt-BR/editor.json
(155-156), and src/i18n/locales/ru/editor.json (155-156), replace the
forward-only terms with wording that covers both backward and forward movement.

💡 Context & Motivation (Why this is important)
When editing screen recordings, tutorials, and product walkthroughs, frame-level precision is essential. Creators frequently need to:
Previously in Recordly, navigating the timeline relied solely on dragging the playhead slider with a mouse or trackpad. This made hitting a specific video frame frustrating and time-consuming, often resulting in imprecise cuts or misaligned zooms.
Frame-by-frame stepping (via
,and.or arrow keys) and quick second jumping (Shift + Arrow) are industry-standard navigation paradigms across professional NLEs and video tools (Screen Studio, Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve). Adding native keyboard frame stepping to Recordly brings that same level of fluid precision and speed to all creators.🛠 Changes Implemented
1. Playback Controller Precision Engine
stepFrameForward(fps = 60),stepFrameBackward(fps = 60), andstepTimeSeconds(seconds)touseEditorPlaybackControls. Automatically pauses playback if active to freeze the targeted frame, computes exact frame intervals (1/60s≈ 16.67ms), and strictly bounds playhead position within[0, timelineDuration](see32541d7).2. Global Keyboard Shortcut Bindings & Safety Guards
