Title: Metricsview keybindings to incr/decr the value and move around.

add key bindings to increasing/decreasing side-bearing and kerning
values by using the up, down, left, right arrow keys and alt and
shift etc combinations.

EG, User selects LBearing for a char in the metrics window table.

Changing current value:
Arrow up increases,
arrow down decreases side bearing by 1 unit.
Shift + arrow increases by 10 units.
Shift + ctl + arrow increases by 5 units.

Moving with alt+direction:
Alt+up selects table field above,
Alt+down selects field below,
Alt+left selects value in table for the char to the left,
Alt+right selects value in table for the char to the right.

The shift and shift-alt unit scales are set in Prefernces, Editing.
If the prefs.c names are OK then I'll send another pull req with the docs for these new options.
