nice brainstorm.

there are quite a few catches, but I am not going to spoil the
brainstorm spirit with those.

to push this forward: I see this fully relies on the dialog
being there (for multiple reasons) with the sliders (and other
controls) being there (and taking screen real estate) and then
the shortcuts show one slider/control at the time.

the question is: can that be combined?

that is the next level...
