I noticed that for most tranform sub-function slider amount changes (not all as it depends upon the significant figures being set (whole interger, a Radius, vs. nn.1%, a Halo Limit)) can take up 10 shift-left clicks right or left of the slider icon before there is an increment change in the associated display number for that slider.

Rather then perhaps go through and change the numerous increment ranges per shift-leftclick for their specific transform sub-function...

...would it be possible to change the numeric display for that slider to: highlight and keyboard input a number?

...and leave the near icon vicinity shift-leftclick and shift-leftclick-hold-drag-release for the slider as is... ...but perhaps fewer shift-leftclicks are warranted as well.

This is a consequence of increasing the slider resolution from 1 part in 4096 to 1 part in 10000. Keyboard input is a lot of work since each slider parses its input differently and thus each one would have to be coded individually. Maybe making the slider move with finer resolution but less range with the shift key down would work better or something similar.

...

Thought that might be the case but was hoping re the numeric input...

Regardless a lesser number of clicks required for a numeric display change is perhaps needed, especially where the transform re-calculates/Preview updates for each invisible 'increment' that occurs for a click made.

I changed the way shift works with sliders for the next release -- now if you hold down the shift button and drag the marker left or right, it makes fine adjustments (16X higher resolution but correspondingly less range).

Neat!!! ...den...
