Scale the bitmap fill handles using arrow keys

[shagarah]

I need arrow keys accuracy to scale the bitmap fill handles instead of having to use the mouse.

Thank you.

Can you give us a screenshot to illustrate what you're trying to do? Please include the workspace and the Layers panel.

A sample .afphoto document might also help.

Plus an ability to explicitly set bitmap size in pixels  , same in Designer

If you notice in the attached screenshot, I need to repeat the unit on the top layer over the whole image area to make a pattern so that each corner is exactly the same as the top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right corners of the unit respectively. Doing this is so hard or impossible using the mouse.

Thanks for the example.

For that case, a Pattern Layer seems more appropriate to me. Is there some specific reason you're trying to use a Fill Layer with a repeating bitmap instead?

No, that's the first thing I found while searching I guess! I don't know how to use Pattern Layer, but how would it solve my problem though? How it adjust the pattern automatically to the dimensions of the document so that the 4 corners come exactly in their place?

This doesn't solve the problem Walt, because even with Pattern Layer, which I just tried, I still need to adjust the scale of the pattern using the move tool to be able to line up the unit corners with the document corners, a process that uses the mouse too.
