It would be great if you could increment/decrement font size of a text object as well!

I landed here because I tried to look up how to change the increments in which the size of the brush stroke changes when pressing the { and} keys. I can't believe I won't be able to change the increments because its not even an option.

The people at Adobe don't care.

My work mixes italic and Roman inmost illustrations because I need to specify the scientific names of organisms. I waste an inordinate amount of time dealing with this. Why can't we have Roman, bold, and italic hot keys as in, for example, Word. This has been a problem for me since 1997 when I started using Illustrator. Please fix this! It drives me nuts every day!

I can't believe it's 2020, version 2021, and we still don't have this... Adobe... you asleep.

crode, files got dropped upon attachment it seems...
Therefore two direct links:

crode, here you are.
Yes, Karabiner could help.
In scripts you should check units. I work in CMYK and metric scale mostly, you could edit it to perform for your cause.

For Mac: if you assign scripts (+ & -) wrapped in actions assigned to Fkeys, you can use a service like BetterTouchTool or Karabiner Elements to remap them for illustrator.

Bit of a workaround, but with BTT you're able to make essentially a virtual knob to do this if you have a track pad.

I'd suggest BTT and try it for a month, better UI than KE. KE is the free option though, but go BTT.

I would be very interested in those scripts

Ryan, I can share two scripts (plus and minus) you can wrap in actions and assign F hotkeys to it. Will it suffice for now? I agree it should come from the box, but this works too.
And if you are on Windows, you can use AHK to reassign them to any other combination you want, not only Fs. Mac has something other for this, I forgot the name.

yes , please. I dont like click click and click

PointControl - worker72a.com - $20 USD - Mac only
Not a Key Command but one click in floating pane adjusts all selected strokes by % of current weight or by points. And all that other stuff, too.

YES! CMD+Shift+Greater Than/Less Than for sure

Increase a selected objects stroke size with a keyboard shortcut.

1000% YES!

it would be nice

Great. Today I use two actions to increase and decrease the weight.

100% agree and am also amazed this isn't a feature yet.

Agreed

**** yeah
