    Hi FredMun,

     

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

     

    If I understand correctly, you are wanting to use the arrow keys on your keyboard to control the playback within QuickTime.  Using keyboard shortcuts can be really handy and I will be happy to offer some help.

     

    According to the QuickTime Player Help, the left arrow on the Keyboard should stop the playback and go back one frame.  You can find all the keyboard shortcuts here:

    The complete user guide is available here:

    Have a great day!
