That's not how I'd envision the use.  The Microsoft reference for the
slider has the basics, as does the IBM/JFC reference.  We do most of
this with the Flex slider 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnwue/html/ch08c.asp

Basically, once the slider gains focus, you then use keys to control the
slider position.  The tab key moves the focus away from the slider. 

Here's the shortcuts I'd recommend:
Right arrow and up arrow - increment slider (using right and up allows
the slider to be vertical or horizontal with no impact on users)
Left arrow and down arrow - decrement slider
Ctrl+up and Ctrl+right - large increment
Ctrl+down and ctrl+left - large decrement
Home/end - lowest and highest slider positions

Hope this helps,
