Incremental input option for vertices count in Star panel

[Boldline]

This is another example where making the arrows for number of vertices work for incremental increases and decreases would be helpful, alongside the slider option -
usually I'm adjusting the number of vertices by a couple here or there - only occasionally I would be increasing the amount dramatically so having both options would be helpful

Works with the Cursor Keys Up ( increases )
and Down ( decreases )

If that's what you mean.

@Boldline There is a task to improve how the sliders work.

One issue here is that having both the up/down scroll (as in the Level field) and the popup slider could be difficult.

ok I see that now, if I highlight it first, I can use the arrow keys to adjust it incrementally. thanks!

works here for me even without highlighting

@Subpath @vectoradmin it does not seem to work that way for me unless I highlight the number first. Tried it a couple different times to see

@Boldline

works here, i use VS 1.1.020

@Subpath yeah I use the same build, but you are on windows and I am on mac - so that is potentially the difference

[VectorStyler]

@Boldline For me the number scrolling with keys works without highlight. Is this in a panel or in a modal view? (send a screenshot).

[Boldline]

@vectoradmin I just figured out the issue - I had the slider active and so it was not letting me use the up and down arrows. When clicked off to hide the slider, I could adjust normally with the arrow keys again with and without the number being highlighted

[VectorStyler]

@Boldline yes, if the slider popover is active, it will consume the key input.

I could still access it ok even when it was open

In most of my interface the increase/decrease arrows don't work. When I press it , it immediately shows the slider. Only some of the arrows work.

[VectorStyler]

@Devil-Dinosaur When pressing the up/down arrow button with the mouse it does open the slider, that is by design.
I was referring to pressing up/down arrow keys on the keyboard.

The editors where the up/down arrow buttons work as scroll buttons are a bit different:

• Vertices field has a popup slider.
• Level field has an up/down arrow for scrolling.

I will try to find a way to have both of these options, the problem is that I have not yet found a good design, and adding two buttons to each field is not the way to go.
