Change Illustrator Keyboard Increment Preference with Extendscript

[Chris.S]

Is there a way to change the keyboard increment preference in Illustrator with Extendscript?

I don't think the scripting API provides access to that, unfortunately. I am happily corrected!

It is less widely known, but can be changed in this way.

var keyboardIncrement = 2.0 ; // as points
app.preferences.setRealPreference('cursorKeyLength', keyboardIncrement) ;

Oh thanks @sttk3 I looked for an app.preferences for it but failed. Does anyone maintain a list of all the preference keys?
