Description
Your idea
Would it be possible to incorporate some way of allowing users to limit step-wise movement to 0.1sp. when adjusting an element with the keyboard arrows?
Alt is not possible as it is already used as an accessibility shortuct. But perhaps some other convenient key combination could be found instead.
Problem to be solved
IME, the current minimum default step of 0.5 sp is too large for fine adjustment with the keyboard arrows, and this means having to manually edit the offset figures in Appearance.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are mentioned. Start by tracing how keyboard-arrow movement and shortcut handling work for selected elements, then inspect the Appearance offset controls. Done means users can make 0.1sp keyboard adjustments through a documented, non-conflicting key combination.
