when to use KEY_MINUS/KEY_PLUS-type event ids?

it is not clear with what "selected parameters" the KEY_MINUS, KEY_PLUS, KEY_MINUS_SHIFT, and KEY_PLUS_SHIFT events are used in conjunction with. is there a list somewhere that more clearly identifies the uses for these event ids and if not, could it be provided and included with future revisions to the SDK docs?

I looked through the baseline for event lists tied to minus and shift+minus. I don't have time to look into the events themselves, but they seem mostly tied to the gauge system. Hopefully we can clarify this in a future SDK update.
