Description Erik Arvidsson 2011-01-11 16:23:10 PST
At least on Windows the following keys should modify the input type=range element.

For horizontal slider:

Home => value = min
End => value = max
Page-Up => value -= big step
Page-Down => value += big step
Left => value -= step
Right => value += step
Up => value -= step
Down => value += step

For vertical sliders this is flipped since min is at the bottom.

It sounds reasonable.
How much is "big step"?
Comment 2 Erik Arvidsson 2011-01-11 18:32:53 PST
A "big step" is usually something that can be set on the component. HTML5 does not provide this so maybe we should do something like 10% (round to nearest step).

FYI
Opera's type=range implementation supports only cursor keys, and not Home End PageUp Pand ageDown.

OSX's native slider seems to support no keyboard operation (really?)

Windows's native slider control supports only cursor keys, and not Home End PageUp and PageDown.

The keys I listed are the ones used in "Volume Mixer" and in "Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization\Window Color and Appearance" in Windows 7.

You're right.  I confirmed the keys worked in "Volume Mixer" and Control Panel -> Keyboard.
Probably I had checked with a wrong slider (?).

r- because the key operations are not compatible with Windows.

A horizontal slider in Control panel -> Keyboard in Windows 7 behaves:
 Up: Increase the value
 Down: Decrease the value
 PageUp: Increase the value by a large amount
 PageDown: Decrease the value by a large amount
 Home: Jump to the minimum value
 End: Jump to the maximum value

A vertical slider in Volume mixer in Windows 7 behaves:
 Right: decrease the value
 Left: Increase the value
 PageUp: Increase the value by a large amount
 PageDown: Decrease the value by a large amount
 Home: Jump to the maximum value
 End: Jump to the minimum value

You can detect slider orientation by renderer()->style()->appearance().

element()->renderer() can be null.
MediaVolumeSliderPart is also vertical.
