allow users to click on and type/enter slider values directly

[gruns]

current behavior: to enter a desired slider value for a given variable, say 0.2, one must slide the slider to the arrive at desired value

suggested behavior: additionally, let users click on the value directly and enter/type the desired value next to the slider

users can then choose to use the slider or enter their desired value explicitly

example of new behavior:

1. go to Modules → Trackpad
2. user wants to enter a Base speed of 0.85
3. user clicks on the current value, say 1.0
4. user enters 0.85
   done

benefits:

• faster value entry
• more precision. eg can enter 0.85 when the slider only moves in increments of 0.1

The suggestion is sensible, but I wonder if it's truly needed. Have you tried clicking a slider and using the arrow keys to tweak the values more precisely?

i did not!

i honestly avoid sliders whenever possible because theyre slower and clunkier than just clicking and entering the desired value directly

The suggestion is sensible, but I wonder if it's truly needed.

if UHK agent surrounded values, eg 0.2, with a rounded box border and turned the mouse into pointer: cursor on mouse over, it would be pretty self-discoverable that you can click on values and type/enter a desired value

this is expected, and used, behavior for me
