Keybinding to skip 1, 5, 20, n keyframes

There is this really useful keybinding to skip forward and backwards to keyframes which allows me to seek through videos pretty fast...

But not fast enough. I would love to have an option to not jump to the next but the fifth, twentieth or just n keyframe.

Why?

I often cut recordings from games which are HUGE. Usually 3-6 hours and 50-200GByte big and I have to cut out a lot. Finding the good bits is utterly tedious, even with my 5Hz 12 core system and an SSD peaking at 6GByte/s my system barely is fast enough for tripple replay speed. Skipping more keyframes would be a BLAST for productivity for me.

Many thanks for listening to me.

You can use the navigation slider, or the jog wheel.

Seriously, that one is even slower in seeking. MUCH slower.

you can use Python scripting:
forward 20 keyframe script:
#PY  <- Needed to identify #
adm=Avidemux()
g=Gui()

g.QtGuiSetBusyCursor(1)
adm.seekKeyFrame(20)
g.QtGuiSetBusyCursor(0)

backward 20 keyframe script:
#PY  <- Needed to identify #
adm=Avidemux()
g=Gui()

g.QtGuiSetBusyCursor(1)
adm.seekKeyFrame(-20)
g.QtGuiSetBusyCursor(0)

save these into the custom script folder
then you can keybind to ALT + something shortcuts in the Tools menu / Script Shortcuts
