Question

Change default +-5 steps when using arrows on sliders

Hi all, is ther a way to change the default steps applied to a slider when using the keyboard arrows UP and DOWN? I see it only changes by +5 and -5, but I'd like to have +1 and -1 for more precise adjustments. Latest LR version installed.
Thanks 🙂

I'm having the same problems since the recent update to 14.0.1 -- the "Alt/Option + Arrow" for small incremental increases/decreases in WB tint is not working. Is there a fix?

thanks, but if I press ALT it doesn't work, by pressing alt I notice that it appears "Reset" in front of every title for the sliders e.g. "Presence" and "Tone" under the Basic panel. It works if I press shift though, but it increases by +20 as you said.

Ignore the Reset text, just hover over the adjustment and use the arrow keys.

For adjustments to reset, you have to click the text ("Reset").

I don't normally adjust the sliders this way, but it turns out that the image has to be in Fit view for this to work.

At 100%, Alt + arrow keys will move the image up and down a small amount.

Shift + arrow keys does work at 100%.

Press the Alt key + arrow keys to get increments of 1. Use the Shift key to get increments of 20.

You can also click in the number field, and use the arrow keys (without a modifier) for increments of 1; using the Shift key will result in increments of 10.

Hold down the Option/Alt key when pressing the Up/Down arrow.

Dot and Comma keys cycle the keyboard focus to different adjustments within the Basic panel. But the default increment applied by the up/down arrow keys does vary for each adjustment.

 

Alt key / shift key are good tips. Other things do change in the interface whenever Alt is pressed so I am not certain if this particular modifier of Alt has always worked to give a finer increment. Works well now, anyway.

 

On the number value field, I find clicking to fully highlight this will mean the arrow key up/down adjustment then does not operate. It only needs to be given hover focus (so that the name of adjustment changes from grey to white).
