Greetings,
I am passing this along, seen on the VicugL group,
not tried it so unable to vouch for it's working.
YouTube keyboard controls
From: Ana G <lot.of.yada@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
I was Googling something else and discovered that
YouTube has some nifty keyboard shortcuts. I'm
posting them in case others of you didn't know them
either.
To play/pause a video, hit the spacebar.
To fast forward or rewind by 5 seconds, tap the right-
or left-arrow key.
To fast forward or rewind by 10 seconds, tap the
letter l or j.
To fast forward or rewind longer, hold down the
right- or left-arrow key.
To jump to the 10, 20, 30 ... percent point in the
video, hit the 1, 2,
3 ... on the keyboard.
I just tried the shortcuts, and they do work. You have
to give the video a couple of seconds to start
playing. I don't know if focus is moving to
the seek control during that time. The screen reader
does chatter, but you can tap the control key to shut
it up.

Interesting. I tried this with Youtube and JAWS and
couldn't seem to make the shortcuts work. JAWS
was interpreting my use of the arrow keys and other
keyboard commands as JAWS navigation
commands. When I hit the right and left arrow keys,
it behaved like it would do on any
webpage and read me letter by letter. When I hit l, it
tried to take me to a list on the page. Any idea what
I'm doing wrong?

Try going to a forms element and put it in forms
mode. I have had success with that and since
youtube is flash content you would be clicking
buttons like in any other flash animation.
