With these patches I'm really just guessing as to the desired style, and am basing my guessing on the previously existing implementation. This implementation might be a little hard to comprehend? It might err on the side of tightness over clarity.

Shall we create a keycode map so that we don't hard code the keys? Also, I notice a switch expression is used in the date picker... we will probably want to be consistent across plugins.

Also note I think we may want a 'paging' option similar to stepping, that describes the amount to 'page' the slider thumb when the user presses pageup/dwn. I've captured this desire in a partially implemented 'pageStep' function in patch2.

Note I committed the first patch, but feel I should wait for feedback on the second.
