Allow changing input values using arrow keys
Would it be possible to add the functionality to change the input values using the up/down arrows?
Can you be more specific? The arrow keys already have lots of functionality in various contexts. Would you like to be able to edit the unicode sequence in the unicode list, instead of in the text entry field?
After clicking and focusing the input value field, being able to use the up/down arrows to change the slider value.
(Thinking out loud) What should be the increment value? 1 up/down arrow = 1 unit? This would actually it make it much easier to change by whole numbers because, in certain ranges, it becomes difficult to land on a whole number using the slider (i.e. wanting 500 but getting 499.2).
That being said, it would also be helpful to be able to change in .1 increments when the range is small. As there can be multiple axes with different ranges, maybe an idea could be to use the modifier keys to change the degree of increment?
For example: up/down arrow = 1 unit (default) option + up/down arrow = .1 unit shift + up/down arrow = 10 units
An additional accessibility feature related to changing input values via arrow keys that would be useful is switching between value boxes using the TAB key.
