Adjust Type Size Incrementally

[nwhit]

Really would like to be able to adjust type size incrementally, same as with leading, kerning, etc. Routinely need to make minor adjusts to type size. I realize that I can "size" the entire  type element, but really need to be able to "bump" the size by point, especially when changing a single character or two.

 

At this point, I can't really see how to change the point size of a single character other than to use the Scaling % (which doesn't seem to do the same thing (proportional point size increase/decrease), or manually type in the point size (which requires doing it several times for each character to get the right size/look).

 

Liking most of what I'm seeing in AP and hoping to retire my PS once and for all. 

 

Thanks.

Edit — Aha! I see under Text Formatting keyboard shortcuts for increasing/decreasing text size, although the shortcuts shown seem misleading. Shows CMD-> but it actually takes CMD-SHFT->. 

 

Okay workaround, but would still be nice to have the incremental button in the Character point size panels & toolbar.
