Is there a keyboard shortcut to change stroke weight? Increase and decrease.

If there isn't , then maybe someone could help me to write a script or something else, to make this hotkey.

I found this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1274603#1274603 but the link to script is dead.

No there STILL isn't as far as I know, and I wish Adobe would just add a stroke-weight changing key command that works like how you can change type point size.

Is this feature STILL not built into AI CS6? Photoshop has had a simple keyboard shortcut for changing brush/stroke width for YEARS. Don't these software teams talk to each other? I'd also like to see the "scrub" feature Photoshop has, for changing numeric settings. Dragging across the "name" of the option, adjusts up or down. Why this is not in AI, I have no idea.

Photoshop doesn't have a stroke feature that you can change with a hotkey.

But anyway, unfortunately Illustrator doesn't have such hotkey either. As already suggested try the workaround with the up/down arrows on your keyboard when the focus is in the stroke field

Assuming we're talking about brush widths in Photoshop, of course, that has been available in Photoshop for many years.

Also, you can assign your own shortcuts to change brush widths in PS.

Harron is almost right:

It says: this theme does not exist yet (with the option/suggestion ofestablishing it).

Harron,

Huh?

Your post:

I don't read German, but I think the original content is gone.

I was, maybe sillily, assuming that no time space discontinuity had caused a reversal, or something stranger.

BTW select the stroke click in the stroke weight field in the control panel or the stroke panel, control panel is easiest, and
hit the arrow key up or down to increase and decrease he weight in small amounts and hit the those keys while holding down the option shift (Mac) or alt shift keys (PC) for greater increments.
