1190974 - Smarter increments for CSS properties values

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: Inspector, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Edouard Oger [:eoger]]

When editing a CSS property value, when I press the up arrow I would like increments depending on the number I entered:

4 => increments by 1
4.2 => increments by 0.1
4.42 => increments by 0.01
and so on.

Or even better, increments depending on the caret position.

I know that you can already use alt + up to have 0.1 increments, but as gl said the user is not supposed to know all the keys.

Incrementing depending on the caret position sounds like a better solution to me than incrementing depending on the number entered.
Indeed, if pressing UP on 4.42 only increments by 0.01, then I can't increment to 5.42 easily. Or maybe alt would have this effect, but it would be weird to map the key to different behaviors.

Note that, just like alt, we also have shift to increment by 10.
