It will move forward or back based on increments of 10%.
For instance, here we hit 5 to get 50% through the video.
To get back to the beginning of the video just hit zero.

Or hit the 9 key to skip 90% into the video near the end.
Unfortunately one caveat is you cant skip through the commercials.
Also, you’ll want to double-check you have the latest version of Adobe Flash installed.
