im not sure what youre referring to. the only time i use forced pauses is when certain animations start, so you dont accidentally skip them, but even then only for a couple secs.
do you mean normal image sequences? they should always be skippable. maybe youre clicking too fast and youre skipping only the transitions instead. try enabling "skip transitions" in the options, maybe that fixes your particular issue. or try explaining again what the issue is
i certainly never intend to take control away from the player
