Couldn't get any easier than that.
Although w/ an ATC cnc, I usually plunge in a 1/8" straight to get that
opening shape. Then follow up w/ the keyhole down, thru, move a .005" over
then return, keyhole up. Just like the video said. Hmm... never did the plunge method.
I will admit I did the one way method ONCE in pvc. The vacuum table won
and kept the sheet down, but I had 2 big holes.

? Is it possible to ramp inward then return? Enroute for me doesnt ramp
so I dont know and Vectric doesnt show it like the guy said in the video.

... I've done a couple where I used the fluting toolpath to start 1/4" deep, ramp another 1/32" or so, then ramp back to the starting position before retracting from the wood. That was when I needed the screw to get tighter as it slid up the keyhole slot.

Thats what I meant, ramp downward then return ramp back up.
Dint word it right.
Thanks 4D
