Right now, in the symbology pane, for example, you can adjust the width of elements, their offset, and other attributes either by entering text or using the up and down buttons. If your existing value is an integer, the buttons will either add or subtract a whole number. If you're using a decimal and hope to go up by 1, you're out of luck - it rounds up or down to the nearest integer, and then adds or subtracts a whole number on subsequent clicks. This is really undesirable, and further, I am rarely looking to go up or down by a whole integer. A tenth would make more sense to me; clicking with Shift held down could increase/decrease by 1 and clicking with Ctrl held down could increase/decrease by either .05 or .01. But, that's just me, so it would probably be preferable to have these settings as customizations at the application level, from the settings pane.
(Shift click currently adds/removes 5.)
