I noticed this issue locally and found it mentioned on a [reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/plexamp/comments/zmi4gg/custom_quick_skip_times_not_working_when_using/), but wanted to reproduce/bump it here for visibility:

> I set the quick skip time to 30 seconds for skips forward. I also set a global keyboard shortcut for this.
> 
> However, when using the keyboard shortcut, it only skips forward the default 10 seconds, not the 30 seconds that is set and showing in the virtual button in Plexamp.
> 
> Shouldn’t the custom skip times work when using keyboard shortcuts too?

I am seeing this on Plexamp v4.6.1 on MacOS v12.5.1 and v13.1. The quick skip times when using the global keyboard shortcut seem fixed at 10 seconds, regardless of what the actual quick skip value is set to.

[Edit: For clarity, the quick skip buttons on the UI, when clicked with a mouse, skip the correct amount of time. Issue is only with the keyboard shortcut invoking it.]

Thanks!
