Looks like a nice compromise. I'm not sure about the spelling, it does not
sound that good to me:

##
## Advanced seek
## Uncommenting the following lines binds keys to seek to n% of the media.
##
#F1 seek 10 1
#F2 seek 20 1
#F3 seek 30 1
#F4 seek 40 1
#F5 seek 50 1
#F6 seek 60 1
#F7 seek 70 1
#F8 seek 80 1
#F9 seek 90 1
