Some videos** have lower case letters for controls. I believe g h for start/stop, b or sound, and a few others. I am told that these are old control ''navicons'' from beforespecial characters - HTML for the Pause symbol (in a video control) - Stack Overflow - Google Icons I cannot find a link to descriptions. To make the old ones work I had to just fumble though them. Do you know of a description anywhere?

**I see them at smithsonian.com for example.

I do not claim to be a computer expert...but the above post is entirely gibberish to me.

Keyboard shortcuts for playback control are specific to the video player, not to the video/content datafile. Content viewed via Java, JavaScript and other such players embedded/programmed into web pages, I expect whether or not there keyboard shortcut controls depends on the whims of the programmer and it's all very non-standard.

That's funny. When I look at past videos, I had less stuff! I've become more organized I guess to fit more in. (ugh)

My video on Old Garden Roses
Q
Comments (2)
A beautiful and very informative video, Brandon! The way you not only divided the roses into categories but listed them in 3 color-coded columns set a perfect foundation for the rest of your talk. I think lots of rose gardeners are hazy about these original class divisions, where they come from and what they mean for rose color and behavior. Your detailed descriptions are wonderfully helpful and your speaking style is very accessible and friendly. The video is comprehensive; you packed a LOT of essential OGR info into a short space of time, and the highlights you selected and curated from the sea of all that could be said—perfect for a solid intro and clarifying video for more experienced gardeners! Your rose images are GORGEOUS!! If you are able to add text identifying the class and name of many of the roses that appear during your talk, I’ll bet viewers would love the added bonus. I am one who always wants to know the ID of a jaw droppingly beautiful rose…so I can try it in my own garden. :-) Thank you so much for sharing your video work! Carol
