How do I use the keyboard instead of the mouse to change values in Logic?

Arrange window, Environment window, Hyper Editor : In the parameter pane (left side of the window), click on any parameter to 'activate' it. Now you can use the + and - keys on the numeric keypad to increment/decrement the value.

Edit List : Select an event, and click-scroll the required value to 'activate' that column (note: just clicking doesn't work here -- you have to scroll). Now use the +/- keys on the numeric keypad to inc/dec. If you use the arrow up/down to select the prev/next event, the active column will remain the same, so that you don't have to click-scroll again. This means you can click-scroll the velocity of a note once, and then use +/- and up/down to alter the velocities of other notes, without ever having to use the mouse.

Emagic Plug-ins : Option-Control-doubleclick (or Option-Shift) [Alt-Ctrl-doubleclick] the plug-in slot to open the plug-in in a non-floating window (!). If the plug-in has a graphical interface, switch it to Control mode. Now click the required parameter once to 'activate' it, and then use the numeric +/- keys to increment/decrement.

EXS24 : Open the EXS and click on a value to 'activate' it. Use the numeric +/- keys to inc/dec. Non-floating window and/or Control mode are thus not needed here. Note: you can also click on any button and use the +/- keys to "turn the knobs". This method might hold for other Emagic instruments as well -- I don't know.
