Posts: 225 		This topic was raised a whole ago - but I had another thought about how to improve it.
So this may be, say, the intensity of a fire or the field of view of a camera.
It's difficult to move a properties along a scale. Either use the slider and pretty much always get a jump or use the up down arrows which you need to keep bashing to achieve any movement.
For properties that have a scale could we have a couple of default keys to move the slider along and make use of the built in auto-repeat (as we do for movement)? A slider speed (like for rotation speed) would allow more precise control.

Keep up the good work chaps!!

A straight line would be linear, set by a number to indicate the speed (which would be constant, like we have now). A curved line could start slow, speed up, then slow down again (or vice-versa). A wobbly curve would go fast-slow-fast-slow etc. Different shapes would give you a preset type of acceleration/deceleration, and it's sort of obvious so shouldn't confuse anyone. Essentially I'm saying that we should nick the way Sony Vegas visually represents fading sound and video, but use it for moving stuff
