Package: emacs
Version: 28.2
Severity: wishlist

When entering a number with read-number or skeleton-read or
just editing text, it can be very useful to increase/de-
crease the number at point.  For Org, Emacs ships the func-
tions org-increase-number-at-point and
org-decrease-number-at-point for this purpose and binds them
to C-M-S-<right> and C-M-S-<left>, respectively, in
org-mode-map.

It would be nice if these functions or some variant could be
bound to global key bindings that are active by default in
all modes.
