Is it possible to adjust your walk speed?
When I'm sneaking around, I can move more slowly and quietly by holding shift.
But walking this way is really slow. I would like to move a little bit faster, but not full speed.
On a console I imagine you have much finer control over how fast you move with the joysticks. Is there any way to accomplish this on the PC (without an external joystick)?
Perhaps there is a console command or config file setting that will change the % speed modifier that holding down shift uses?

Morebatteries' answer works pretty well - but I've also discovered a mod that is a little more nuanced.
According to the documentation:
It adjusts the speeds of the player, NPCs and horses by the following ammounts:
Character Sneak Walk +15%
Character Sneak Run -25%
Character Walk +15%
Character Run -20%
Character Sprint -20%
Horse Walk +5%
Horse Run 0%
Horse Sprint +5%
After a quick play it appears to be decent.

How do I adjust my walking speed?
whats the command to change just walk speed. Exactly. It's a little messy, but can be handled. Raising sv_friction # (default 4) will reduce your walk speed while having a minimal effect on your running movement.Why does your WALKING SPEED matter? (Walk Talk - Episode 1)

Answer 2
There is unfortunately not a lot of control on PC; you have only full blown sneak running or tip-toed Hall of the Mountain King sneaking. Getting a wired Xbox controller is a good solution.
Answer 3
My Realistic Humanoid Movement Speed plugin fixes everything. Your walk/run/sprint/sneak/horse move speed will be realistic.
Answer 4
You can press Caps Lock to permanently run. The default for sprint is Alt.
Answer 5
Hit caps lock and it adjusts the speed between intolerably slow and "still slow as molasses but slightly better".
