Move Current Time Indicator by One Frame?

In the Premiere timeline, it is possible to move the current time indicator a single frame by pressing the left arrow or right arrow key.

I was wondering if there is some way to move the indicator by a single frame in the After Effects timeline. The arrow keys don’t do that in AE. Yet, I find that feature highly useful when I need precision (e.g., placing keyframes at a particular location, making a cut at just the right frame, etc.). And it can be easier to “nudge” the current time indicator in this way than to type a time into the field at the upper-left of the timeline panel.

Is there a way to do that?

The Keyboard Visualizer includes Commands to move the CTI back/forward in increments of 1 frame or 10 frames. The Command names to look for are Go Back/Forward 1 Frame and Go Back/Forward 10 Frames.Similarly, you can move selected layer(s) and KFs back/forward by the same amounts with similarly named Commands, in the Keyboard Visualizer.I use them daily cos they're exceptionally usefu
