[Animated GIF] Option+Up/Down keys don't increment/decrement :(

In Styles panel it's possible to increment/decrement numbers by pressing Option+Up/Down arrow keys. It would be very useful for editing SVG too.

The attached animated GIF was recorded on this page http://codepen.io/sol0mka/full/jpecs/.

[Animated GIF] Editing SVG path by pressing Alt + Up/Down

The patch works. It feels great to edit SVG paths.

Undo doesn't work.

What code is responsible for Option Up/Down behavior in the styles panel and CSS resources? We should try to abstract it away.

Another bug: pressing down without holding Option modifies the number, pressing up doesn't.

The code responsible for this behavior in the Styles and Resource panels is a CodeMirror addition.

CodeMirror.defineExtension("alterNumberInRange", ...)

I agree that it would be nice to combine the two, but the CodeMirror version makes extensive use of the CodeMirror APIs and I'd rather not mess with it too much.  I can try to merge the two in a later patch.

Undo with Cmd+Z still doesn't work.

This one is fixed.

Another bug:
"42A3|6" ("|" is a text cursor)
Pressing Option Up/Down should change the second number (36), not the first one.

Good catch!  Completely forgot that you could do this.

Can you post a video of this or provide some steps to reproduce please?  I am not seeing any issues with undo.

Hm, this video doesn't work in Safari for me — it gets stuck on "Loading". It should work if you download it.

Making Undo/Redo work would be nice, but I am not sure we have the editing hooks for do that. These are content editable fields, not CodeMirror.

With the most recent patch applied, I do see that the undo works once the editable field is blurred.  It's not the best but it works.  Also, this should now also work with inline styles and any other instance of a number in an attribute field.

Undo when blurred is using the DOM editing undo stack we talked about yesterday.

What about the other modifiers we support in CodeMirror? They should be the same.

        "Alt-Up": alterNumber.bind(null, 1),
        "Ctrl-Alt-Up": alterNumber.bind(null, 0.1),
        "Shift-Alt-Up": alterNumber.bind(null, 10),
        "Alt-PageUp": alterNumber.bind(null, 10),
        "Shift-Alt-PageUp": alterNumber.bind(null, 100),
        "Alt-Down": alterNumber.bind(null, -1),
        "Ctrl-Alt-Down": alterNumber.bind(null, -0.1),
        "Shift-Alt-Down": alterNumber.bind(null, -10),
        "Alt-PageDown": alterNumber.bind(null, -10),
        "Shift-Alt-PageDown": alterNumber.bind(null, -100),

You should be able to use document.execCommand("insertText", false, wordPrefix + replacement + wordSuffix); that would in theory make Undo/Redo work.
