Logic Pro 10.2.2: is it possible to move playhead by ticks?

I know that the keyboard shortcut for moving the playhead are the , and . keys

But using that only allows me to move the playhead by bars. Is it possible to modify a keyboard shortcut key so I can move the playhead by less than bars, say for example by beats, divisions, or ticks. I'd prefer to use my keyboard rather than the mouse to do this.

I know that I can move individual notes by bars, beats, divisions, and ticks, so why not the playhead itself?

In the screenshot you see all possible key assignable rewind (that also exist for forward) options. Frame is the smallest. With a frame rate @ 60 and the tempo at 120, one frame is about 33 ticks. Frame rate is set in File>Project Settings>Synchronization>General.

By Division value is what I use for small forwards/rewinds. As you can see, you need to assign the keys yourself. I use the forward and rewind keys with the option key (as in second screenshot.
