Not in-built. You could do something like

:nnoremap <f4> s<c-r>=<c-r>"+1<cr><esc>

to just operate on the one character under the cursor.

Well, you can prefix ^A/^X with a count to change the increment, so
in your case, you can use

10^A

as you mention/map below (though in this case, the "r4" solution is
shorter)

Part of the problem may have been that vim doesn't discern
control+{char} from control+shift+{char}, but you have the right
idea. You just have to map it to something vim recognizes :-)
