How to scale in precise increments in photoshop

A nice feature of PS is the ability to use the bracket keys to increase/decrease the size of a brush in precise increments. Similarly, we can use the arrow keys to move an object in small increments. Is there any way to apply a transformation (^T) and scale that transformation in precise increments without having to type numbers into the toolbar?

I click in the text box for Width or Height, then use my Up and Down arrow keys on my keyboard.

Adding the Shift key goes in larger increments.
Enabling the Link button keeps it proportional.
