alt + Auto (request)

Hi Tim et al.
This is just a request for a "nice to have".
I like how when you hold the alt key, the Model button says Model = 0.
Lets say I am looking at a kerning model, but KO has prompted me that
it is too loose/tight, wouldn't it be nice if KO gave me the suggested number
in the Auto button when I hold down alt? Like Auto = 4.
That way I can there and then decide if I really want to make it that, or keep
it as is, or add my own value, without having to click Auto to find out.
Might not make sense to you, but please let me know :)

That’s a good idea! I’ll put that onto my to-do-list.

So, this is included in today’s update (1.09)! See https://kern-on.com/update/

Thanks for the suggestion. I decided to use ctrl to show the auto value preview – it was a bit confusing if both works with alt. Note that it usually takes half a second to display the value.

Great news! Works like a charm too. Thank you, Tim!
