Thanks for all the helpful responses. The final verdict is: Initial duration for adaptive skipping (s) = 120 Defines the number of seconds to jump from the current replay position in either direction, when pressing the '1' or '3' key for the first time after the "Reset timeout for adaptive skipping". The valid range is 10...600. Reset timeout for adaptive skipping (s) = 3 Defines the number of seconds after which pressing the '1' or '3' key falls back to the "Initial duration for adaptive skipping". The valid range is 0...10. Setting the timeout to 0 disables the adaptive mode and makes '1' and '3' always skip the number of seconds configured as the initial duration. Alternate behavior for adaptive skipping = no When skipping in adaptive mode with the '1' and '3' keys, the distance of the skip is halved with every key press after the first change of direction. While this allows for locating a particular position in a recording very fast, once you make one step too many in the current direction you have no chance of ever reaching the desired point any more. You will have to wait for the timeout to occur and start adaptive skipping anew. If this option is set to 'yes', the skip distance will only be halved if the direction actually changes. That way, even if you missed the target point, you can still back up to it.
