Tips:

  • Press down the arrow buttons over 3 seconds to double the speed for increasing / decreasing the value. Press down the arrow buttons over 6 seconds to triple the speed for increasing / decreasing the value.

  • Press down the arrow buttons and drag your cursor can also increase / decrease the value. But the value won’t change if you keep your cursor un-moved, which is useful if you want to set the value slowly without using the keyboard.
