Except that your response doesn't cover the issues that Tarana raised. Sure, you can jump back a fixed amount of time, but that is pretty useless for anything beyond "what happened in the last 30 seconds?", especially when you are searching for something specific.

Did I jump back far enough? Too far? How much forward should I jump now? Shoot, I think I overshot. It's practically an order of magnitude slower than with printed material.
