...make right click drag numbers have finer control?

Post by funksmaname »

Ive tried with alt, shirt, control... nothing seems to help - right click dragging numbers seems to do MASSIVE jumps in anything... considering i usually need control over .01 numbers or even less its frustrating that you cant get more control than jumping whole numbers .1!!

is there any way to get finer control!? if not, can this be scripted so shift, control and alt right dragging a number goes from the standard .1 control to .01, .001 and .0001?

In fact the amount what every number input is modified by righ click drag or the mouse wheel depends on what the programmer of the script choose during the tool development. The combitation of another key (ALT, SHIFT, CTRL) is not a built in feature of the original LM.GUI.TEXT input control. Maybe it can be scripted but would interfere with other uses of the tool make of the keystrokes combinations.

Theoretically you can change that value just diving into the original script file and change this value. It is different for different tools. Some times is 0.1 sometimes is 1 sometimes is 0.25. It depends. But I don't recommend it. In other situations you'll need the big steps intead...

I think it is better ask it to be implemented in next releases.

thats a shame... with stuff like layer translation, .25 is FAR too much :S it just makes it fly in huge steps... doesnt make sense... :(

could we introduce a middle button drag for finer control throughout?
