Increment and decrement values

It is possible to change values in a parameter field by clicking on the arrows left or right or by moving the mouse back and forth. I think it would be practical if you could select any digit or decimal point and increment or decrement only this digit by moving the mouse up and down. The arrows left and right are meant nicely, but unfortunately they always increment by the wrong amount. ;-) The value that apparently cannot be adjusted, right?

That level of mouse movement is pretty fussy , which I generally try to avoid.

I just tried it here (2.82a) and the arrow keys moved the highlight, but did not dec/increment the value at all. (???)

Personally, I'd prefer the Adobe style Up/Down = Inc/Decrement, with Right/Left moving the highlight (current behavior). TAB would move to the next field, and SHIFT+TAB move to the previous field.

IMO, that would be a lot more "industry standard".
