You can use the mouse wheel (inside the linear slider) to do that. Or
the scrolling zone on your touchpad, in case you use a notebook. Works
perfectly on my Thinkpad T60, for example. Since that also has a nice
hi-resolution display, I actually prefer it for cutting.
Depending on the Shift/Ctrl/Alt keys, a single click of my wheel moves
by approximately 1 minute (normal), 1 second (+shift), 1 frame (+ctrl)
or 10 minutes (+alt). You can use other values, however; just change
them in the configuration file. All values are in units of frames; e.g.
1 second corresponds to 25 or 30 frames, depending on whether you use
PAL or NTSC.
BTW: I guess we need to update the documentation :-(

I think that might be too many buttons. Plus, you need to navigate the
cursor too much when you use buttons. Using the scrolling wheel is much
more practical.

Maybe I can add keyboard shortcuts that work as replacements for the
mouse wheel (in case there is none). I'm not sure if left/right arrow
isn't already taken by the GUI, however.

"*" indicates that the frame will be exported, according to the current
cut list. The time and frame number on the right refer to the exported
file, the ones on the left refer to the original file.
