currently you can set it so that

- a forward skip, immediately after a backward skip, 
  is as long as the backward skip was (ie 5 seconds)


i have been meaning to try to see if it would be better 
if it did the same the other way around

ie.
- a backward skip, immediately after a forward skip, 
  is as long as the forward skip was (ie 30 seconds)


so when you skip forward one too many times 
you don't have to skip back 6 times to undo the damage
