slider control with arrow keys vs. mouse

[cdesselles]

Sometimes I find it difficult to make small, precise settings of sliders using only a mouse.  So I often resort to typing numerical settings directly into the slider value display.  This is slow and cumbersome. 

Since this is a "wish list", I request that a future release or update contain the ability to adjust sliders using either the left/right or up/down arrow keys.  This request would extend to all processes etc. where sliders are used for adjustments.

Hopefully, you will find this to be a reasonable request.

Agreed! Also, after entering a value with the keyboard, you seem to need to click on a slider to get the value accepted. Overall, making fine adjustments (Curves, etc.) could be made easier with both arrow keys and the mouse scroll wheel. Thanks!

Not actually. You just need to press Enter, or move the keyboard focus to a different control.

I'll try to implement some support for arrow keys in numeric edit controls. Frankly, I don't see any problem in entering numbers literally. Is it really so difficult to type something like 0.25 or 0.30 ? Actually, I see it much faster than having to press arrow keys repeatedly just to realize that the number you want has to be typed in anyway

Juan, can you please add key modifiers at the same time? 

For example, Shift+Up arrow increases the "increment by" factor by ten.  So going from .25 to .35 is just Shift+Up arrow. 

Maybe, Cntl+Shift+Up arrow is by a factor of 100 for those controls with values to the thousandths position

Thanks you for the consideration of this feature.

Agree, especially when working with Histogram Transformation and Midtones slider, I often wish there would be arrow keys control of increasing and decreasing value.

Hi
If you zoom in on the histogram you can as fine as control as you like

Juan, it's not that I wish one form of control to be exclusive of the other.  I am thinking of "rough" adjustment by using the mouse on the slider then making "fine" adjustment using the arrow keys.  This would be very helpful when using live preview to see very small incremental changes without having to think about and enter numbers.
