Color sampler for adjustments?

I'm trying to find a way to do some basic exposure adjustment in C1Pro. I'm used to using ACR to place a color-sampler on a digital grey card that has been measured with a GMB i1. In ACR I can then adjust the image until the RGB values match the correct numbers to get my exposure precise. I can't find a way to do something similar in Capture One - I seem to have the same problem that I have while trying out Lightroom. I can move the eyedropper over the card and see the values, but as soon as I move the mouse back to the exposure sliders the numbers of course aren't visible. The back and forth is a bit of a pain. Am I missing something in this process??

Thanks for any assistance!

  If you have all the major controls, WB, Exposure, etc in the one window you can move between them by using the tab and shift+tab keys. Place the cursor in a control and use Shift+Arrow keys to move the adjustment up or down.
  
  If you them place the mouse cursor over the grey card, DO NOT CLICK, you should them be able to adjust the controls to get your desired value. Clicking on the image area will remove the focus from the Adjustments area which removes the direct keyboard entry.
  
  A right click brings up the magnifying glass which will give you an RGB reading over the cursor area.
  
  Cheers,
