Value Slider Precision
I think I posted this idea forever ago on the old forum. But this setting would be super useful. Just a slider like the precision on number displayers. So we can have integers, 0.1, 0.01, etc.
Some inputs to our logic we want to be choosing between 3 options, for example, but people can't use up/down to choose between them but have to drag it perfectly onto the right integer. So people tend to make it use 0.0 to 0.3 instead. With integers, we could have it make sense from the number of options and easy to use for the user of the slider.
And we can have more granular values we can choose. Like, I have a HSL slider which uses 0-1 values for the logic. But now users can only pick large chunks, only 10 options for the setting. I'd like to have infinite precision on it like a timeline has. For more precision I'd need to give it a larger range... but would then need to map it down to 0-1 again in my logic. If we could increase precision to 3 or 4 I could have very smooth selection for that setting, without having to change any of my logic.

I whould think that l1 as the common shift/modify input whould serve as an intuitive and effective way here too. I could just adjust the sensitivity higher to add and substract 0.01 fractions of the value. Right now - strangely enough - when you l1 on the value slider the number lights up for a reason unknown to me.
I also noticed that you can't drag the slider around with R2. If you use l1 in tandem on the gadget you can clone it of course but on the slider window itself it does nothing. So theoretical we could utilize the analog input modification of R2 and have it modify even further on how fine we can adjust the increments. But admittedly that's a bit obscure.

I think I suggested this too! Seems like an easy enough tweak in theory? It would save tons of accumulated time tweaking sliders!
