I find the absolute jumps equally useful as the relative ones.  

The fact that you now have the absolute versions bound to left/right
instead of the relative versions is an unfortunate consequence of the
way we've overloaded some actions.  Currently, the absolute jumps are
hard coded to the stick fast-forward/rewind actions and the relative
jumps to the seek forward/back actions.

I'd like to see that eventually solved by having separate actions for
things and then have some form of multiple context support to map them
from keys.  For example, if you wanted left/right to perform relative
jumps when a number is queued and perform sticky fast-forward/rewind
when no number is queued, you could do that.

I'm not sure which skip intervals you're talking about, but perhaps
it's the ones in the playgroups settings.
