It is more clear and the logic to increase/decrease Slider value can be changed easily. But this changes AccessibleJSlider class and will need a CSR.

This will not need any changes in AccessibleJSlider class, but this does not look correct way and I have not used this.

To change the slider values, use ctrl+opt+shift+down key to start interacting with the slider, then use ctrl+opt+up/down arrow keys to increment/decrement slider values.

If you need a new functionality and CSR I wonder how it currently works on Windows and macOS, or it does not work?
