Although implicit, some of this functionality is in the ARIA best
practices guide, in the "Design Patterns" section [1].
I say "implicit" because the focus in the APG is on keystrokes. However,
the suggested keystrokes are to allow users to, e.g., "move to the
minimum of the slider" [2]. That is, part of the goal was to provide
useful ways of manipulating widgets, albeit through the use of a keyboard.
Perhaps it's worthwhile to filter out the specifics of the keystrokes
and see what the underlying implicit functions are.
