title: Increment and decrement Angular Material slider via buttons
body: <p>In addition to the slide features of the <a href="https://material.angular.io/components/slider/overview" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Angular Material (7.3) slider</a>, my application has increment and decrement buttons which move the slider by one <code>step</code>. The increment and decrement buttons are external to the slider, duplicating the slider behavior with min, max, step, and keyboard interaction behavior.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know of a way to avoid duplicating the logic by, perhaps, just feeding the slider "increment/decrement thyself" events?</p>
