Hello,

I have downloaded the keyboard shortcuts, but don't see one for adjusting the number of "specified steps" in a Blend. Don't know if there is one and if there is , would it be the same for other dialog boxes?

Thanks,

John

There is none.

Select the blend, double click the blend tool to get to the steps input quickly.

Could be an idea to have it in the Properties panel.

Make a feature request. Please post feature requests to http://illustrator.uservoice.com

Hi Monika,

I was just playing around the different keystrokes and found the solution. Option + Up Arrow and Option + Down Arrow.

John, I'm curious as to the exact conditions under which you see this behavior. I had interpreted your question to mean that you wanted to select the blend object, press a key command, and immediately be able to adjust the number of steps; however, the only way I know of that comes close to your Opt. +⭡and Opt. + ⭣ is to open the Blend Options window and click in the numeric field. In that case, the up and down arrows (without the Option key) will adjust the number of steps up or down by one. Hold down the Shift key, press the appropriate arrow, and the value will jump to the next multiple of 10 in the appropriate direction. There is similar behavior in other numeric fields, such as stroke weight or type size, where holding down the ⌘ key will cause a change of .1 pt. Otherwise, there is no keyboard shortcut to get you there.
