One of the best features of PotPlayer [0] (available only on Windows, sadly) is that it supports jumping to previous/next subtitle points. Combined with its auto subtitle search feature, it's extremely useful for a nonnative speaker like me to jump back and read an unintelligible section of a movie, or skip a boring section by watching only the parts with dialogue.
I wish there were a similar alternative for Linux. The best media player I've found is VLC, which is a joke compared to PotPlayer in terms of customizability and UX.
