[sdiy] Do these things exist ? ( switch and pots )

[Peng]

I was fantasizing about the Analog Solutions Phoenix last night. It has this articulation button that puts out 0-10V depending on how far down it's pressed. I'm wondering if there's such a thing as a spring loaded potentiometer that works by pushing in and out ?  If so, what's it called so I can search it out ?
 
  I'm pretty sure this next thing doesn't exist but it's an interesting idea so here goes:
 
Imagine a SPDT  on/off/on toggle switch mounted so the switch flips  up/center/down. But when you get to the center position you could fip left to right. Like two seperate but interdependent switches. From the rear of the panel it would look like a + sign. Could be cool for matrix switch banks or who knows what.
 
 
Who has lots of time on their hands ? That would be me,
P.
