One thing you can use is the command whose name totally escapes me at the
moment that lets you move backward or forward by a predetermined
increment, as set in, well, in the settings menu. Oh man I need some
sleep. But you can set it to move by a predetermined number of seconds
either way: 1+2 moves you backwards, 2+3 moves you forward. It's not
perfect, but it is useful.
