scamper Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 When I'm in a numeric text field, holding down the Shift key as I tap the arrow keys should increase/decrease the value 10x.(At the moment this key combination acts to select the text before/after the insertion point, which, while standard behavior for text fields, is not the expected behavior for numeric input fields.)

ronnyb Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Yes scamper, I also miss this feature from the Adobe apps... it helps sett up your settings without having to reach out to the mouse/tablet/trackpad to click on tiny buttons... would be a great addition to AD's UI Quote 2021 16” Macbook Pro w/ M1 Max 10c cpu /24c gpu, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, macOS Sequoia 15.1 2018 11" iPad Pro w/ A12X cpu/gpu, 256 GB, iPadOS 18.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Andrew Tang Posted October 7, 2014 Staff Share Posted October 7, 2014 Will be in the next release. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rui_mac Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Besides having a larger increment with a modifier, it would be extremely useful to have a preference that allowed us to set the default increment value when pressing the up/down keys. I remember having this in FreeHand and it was a time saver. I would set it to 1.0 for projects that needed coarser values. So, each up/down cursor press would increase/decrease the value by 1.0 and Shift+Up/Down arrow would increase/decrease by 10.0 I would set it to .1 for projects that needed finer values. So, each up/down cursor press would increase/decrease the value by .1 and Shift+Up/Down arrow would increase/decrease by 1.0 I would set it to .01 for projects that needed even finer values. So, each up/down cursor press would increase/decrease the value by .01 and Shift+Up/Down arrow would increase/decrease by .1 Much, much more flexible and powerful.

Staff Andrew Tang Posted October 7, 2014 Staff Share Posted October 7, 2014 Interesting. Will have to think about that. For now, in the next release, SHIFT will increment by 10, and ALT will increment by 0.1. This applies for both arrow keys and mouse wheel.

rui_mac Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 The nice thing about this ability is that, for example, I could need to have my document in centimeters or millimeters but measure increments in points. So, I would set the displace value to 0.353 mm or 0.0353 cm and keep the document units in millimeters or centimeters but pressing the cursor keys would move my objects in 1 point increments. Or 10 point increments, with Shift pressed. Actually, in FreeHand, you could set a value for up/down cursor and a completely different value for Shift+Up/down. But I usually set it to 10x So, being able to do define an increment value and multiply by 10 with the Shift key and divide by 10 be pressing the Alt key would be great.

tobiasalvik Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Whatever happened to this feature? I'm on version 1.5.1.X in designer/photo and can't seem to find settings for it. Still not implemented 2 years later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
