I'd be most happy to do that.

Not sure, you could give them the following function:
Slide the switch to the left =  up 1 line
Slide it to the right = down 1 line.

Since we already have those functions on ohter buttons that would mean
more of the same. Since these switches are easily touched this could be
in the way of normal stable operation quite a bit.

They dont rotate, it's a switch that you can put to the left or to the
right, they move back into the middle position after you let go.
Attached are some pictures from the "rocker?" .
