The Special Adjustment Dialog provides a way to continuously modify parameter values using the keyboard.
This dialog allows precise adjustments without repeatedly clicking controls or dragging sliders.
The dialog opens when double-clicking the parameter name in the Inspector.
Once opened, the dialog remains active while the parameter is being edited.
This dialog enables continuous parameter modification using keyboard controls.
While the dialog is open, parameters can be adjusted by holding the arrow keys on the keyboard.
As long as the key is held down, the parameter value will continue to change.
This makes it possible to quickly increase or decrease values while maintaining precise control.
Modifier keys can be used while holding the arrow keys to change the adjustment sensitivity.
Shift
divide step by 10
Ctrl + Shift
divide step by 100
Alt + Ctrl + Shift
divide step by 1000
Alt
multiply step by 10
These modifiers allow both fine tuning and large value adjustments.
The dialog also exposes the step factor used for adjustments.
This value defines the base increment applied when modifying the parameter with the keyboard.
By changing this factor, users can precisely control how quickly values increase or decrease.
The keyboard controls adapt depending on the parameter type.
For single value parameters, the arrow keys behave as follows:
Up / Right
increase value
Down / Left
decrease value
For parameters containing multiple values (such as Vector2, Vector3, or Point parameters), the keyboard controls are mapped to individual components.
Left / Right
first value
Up / Down
second value
Vector3 parameters use a control layout similar to movement controls in many computer games.
A / D
first value
Q / E
second value
W / S
third value
This allows all three values of a vector parameter to be adjusted directly from the keyboard.
