YT shorts is bad, it has a lot of problems and this script might even fix them all. But I don't know because there is no real documentation in english, even google translate doesn't really help. I think this is a fair criticism because you've designed all the options and headings in english, so english-speaking users would expect to be able to figure out how to use it.

I like that it allows you to seek within a video. What I want is a way to open a short I'm watching in regular video mode (i.e. open the video in a tab at URL ending with /watch?v=), is that possible? If so, how can I make that work?

i translated it

Better YouTube Shorts
Provides more features for youtube shorts, including
Can automatically jump to the corresponding video interface
You can manually jump to the corresponding video interface, shortcut key alt + w, such as https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9wRiG-A7K8A , press alt + w to open https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wRiG-A7K8A , open the current shorts in the video interface
Progress bar (including time display, can be dragged)
Volume control (including volume display)
Playback speed control
Automatic scroll control
Script recommendation: Tabview Youtube , the biggest advantage is that you can watch the video and read the comments without scrolling up and down, very useful
Script Features
There is no performance problem caused by setInterval. Use requestAnimationFrame and only render the required parts, which greatly reduces performance consumption.
Optimization point
Solve the problem that the plugin is invalid when there are ad blocking plugins and extensions
Optimize loading speed
Solve the problem that shorts entered from other pages (such as user homepage, shorts column on the homepage, etc.) do not load the Better Youtube Shorts interface
