How can i get cues to skip to specific points in a single video using keyboard inputs?

hi guys, im sorry if this is a super obvious/easy thing to do, but ive never used a programme like touchdesigner before.

I am making an interactive installation, as a bit of an experiment, and i need a single long video to play on loop if untouched, but skip around to different points within the video if certain keys are pressed.

I dont want to break up the video into seperate inputs if possible, as i want it to play seamlessly if uninterrupted. if anyone knows a simple way to go about this, please please help me!! if you know a complicated way to do it, tell me also!! ill take anything… thank you!!

Something like this…
-The constant CHOPs contain the cue points (as decimal fractions)
-The keyboardin CHOP drives the multiply (0 or 1) on the math CHOPs, acting as simple pull up logic
-The override CHOP just takes the most recent output, which is then split/renamed to generate 2 channels = cuepoint & cuepulse
-Cuepulse is quantized with a limit CHOP (value=ceiling/step=1)
-These are then merged, null’d and referenced accordingly in the moviefilein TOP
