Ah, so you are desiring keyboard control of the sliders?

That's something on my mind too.

The problem is that our /volume/ sliders are not allowed to get 
 keyboard focus. Thus you cannot click on them and then use keys 
 to manipulate them.

Ironically, the /hoizontal/ sliders actually /do/ accept keyboard focus.
I did that, so that one can click them, then press enter so that the 
 value editing box pops up. Without keyboard focus that would be impossible.
And I was planning to allow keyboard up/down control, as you say.
So keybaord focus is essential in that case.

So it's in a bit of state of flux at the moment.
I am trying to decide whether to allow keyboard focus on all, or none, 
 of the sliders.

The issue is that when a control or box (of which there are many in MusE)
 has keyboard focus, the user may not realize that it still has focus and
 when they try to use say transport keyboard shortcuts they don't work
 because that control still has the focus.

However we do have a feature called 'smart focus' (see Settings)
 which automatically returns focus to the app when editing a control 
 is finished. It works for all the boxes on the toolbars.

I am currently trying to work it out so that the sliders can do that too.

Stay tuned... I will try to add the requested keyboard support later on.

Thanks.
Tim.
