Shortcut for moving the color dials like Hue/Satutarion/Light or LAB, CMYK, RGB...

[rafaeldrumond]

I was looking for ways of making an Arduino dial to adjust the color sliders. Since Affinity does not have an API or similar, a shortcut option to adjust these color values (either directly or by increments) would be great.

An interesting idea but can you explain how you think this could/should work in practice?
Giving as much explanation/details as you can will help people to better understand the requirements and any workflow(s) necessary.

Sure thing, sorry for the delay.

Here's my idea: We have the color sliders right? For example LAB has 3 sliders with 3 bars that vary from 0 to 100.

My main idea is building 3 dials (4 in case of cmyk) or something that I could twist it and adjust the values by increments. Instead of me clicking in the color box or adjusting with mouse, I would just turn the dials with my fingers, to adjust each slider. However, since Affinity does not have an API for plugins yet, a keyboard shortcut option would suffice greatly for now. For example, I could set alt+shift+F11 to move the L slider one increment to the left, and alt+shift+F12 to the right.
Then I could set the dials to trigger these shortcuts depending on the direction they are being turned.
