#7 Some numpad chord way to move in 1 or 2 pixel increments

[Anonymous]

Right now, there are enough occasions when the default increment is too big, and the cursor jumps around a target instead of getting right on it.

For some reason, clicking on the Shift key to kick into small increment mode is not convenient enough. Maybe the numpad enter key? to dup the Shift key?

Using the Enter key though could be bad - cuz currently Enter is used as a normal enter key, and sometimes it's handy to have that working as-is, instead of stealing it for MouseKeys (maybe you split the difference and detect when it's down and another mousekey has been used before enter went up and then handle that one ... ? sounds complicated)

Another simpler option maybe - with Ctrl and Shift down, move in 1 pixel increments, but with only Shift down (and Enter if you try that), move in 3 pixel increments. Test it to make sure, but 3 should be enough for most fine tuning.

[ 1695001 ] Allow configurable pixel move amounts

A few tweaks, experimenting. First off, the default small increment is now 5 pixels instead of 1 pixel (I have to keep in mind that my acceleration settings will probably influence these defaults). Second, Ctrl + Shift now add a fourth state, and it's set to 1 pixel. Also, the numpad Enter key (when NumLock is off) now is trapped and acts as a Shift key.

The pixel increments (Small = 5, Regular = 10, Large = 50) are now configurable in the default .exe config file - which, because of ClickOnce, is a bit difficult to get to - but at least it's there now. The numpad Enter as Shift is also a setting that can be turned off if you don't like it.
