Manual Kerning on non-US keyboards

Bug Description

Hmm... keyboard belongs to "UI", right?

On many non-US keyboards, < and > are the same key (toggled with Shift).
This makes manual kerning quite confusing, as you can only step in 10s in
one direction, and only in 1s in the other.

Maybe the numeric keypad might come in useful?

Maybe a visual point somewhere in the text that could be dragged could help resolve this. Another option could be a number or slider on the Text and Font dialog.

some laptops or netbooks don't have numeric keypads… IMHO these commands need to have menu entries (menu bar or context) to provide alternatives for localized keyboard layouts.
