Is there a way — or any way to create — keychords (keyboard shortcuts) or mouse/trackpad/scrolling that will advance/retract video frame-by-frame?

The only way I have been able to move frame-by-frame is by clicking the little "forward" and "reverse" arrows in the video controls bezel that shows in Loupe View of the Library Module. I'd like something easier and smoother than this without jumping as far as happens with the control point on the scrubber time bar.

Some small follow-ups:
. The Topic title should have "one", which I mis-typed as "on".
. Weirdly, I was able to scroll through videos in Loupe View using a three-finger slide left/right gesture on my trackpad for a while yesterday, but it stopped working when I rebooted and despite my best efforts I cannot regain the functionality of scrolling through video with a gesture.
. Keyboard Maestro can detect by image the small "forward one frame" and "backward one frame" icons in the expanded scrubber bar (expand it by clicking the Action Menu icon, a/k/a "The Gear"). I might be able to assign this to a gesture in such a way that it repeats, but since it is not instantaneous, I have not tried.
. I am also experimenting with a macro that types "{spacebar}", pauses, and again types "{spacebar}".
. Quicktime (on Mac) has scrolling of videos built-in. The OS X Quick Viewer does as well.
