Added keyboard editing of rotation and position based on an increment value assigned from some default and custom input values not exceeding 4 digits. The keyboard arrow keys allow rotate and mesh movement in increments with the alt key allowing the third choice of x, y and z rotation and motion. This only allows, at this time, edit of one mesh at a time. If multiple messhes are selected, it will only effect the last selected mesh and I will change that to allow only one mesh to be selected while the key edit menu options are active. This is a prelude to adding snap-to-grid and then vertex and edge editing and joins.

I still need to either allow rotation/movement edits of multiple mesh selections or only allow one at a time. The user can still select more than one mesh while rot/mov edits are active. Personally, I've only ever needed one at a time and the normal GIZMO editing is fine for multiples. I chose this addiiton because I normally work with grid based models such as square buildings and 2.5d box models and it's a great benefit to be able to select a mesh and match/move it to others uniformly in a grid.

Once this is all QA'd, next up is implementing snap-to-grid, adding more primitives, default textures and that's about all I can think of right now.

Comments and requests are certainly appreciated.
