[PD] What does number2 for?

[ad]

hao,

so is there a chance to control the number2 number box from the arrow  
keys in the keyboard? both in os x and linux/gnu i dont seem to get  
this keys to generate input.. certainly i might need to use the [key]  
object.. but will be nice to have this ready, out of the box,  
everytime you create a crtl+shift+n numberbox.

am im missing a key combination to get this behaviour?

2c,
/a
