Number fields and sliders
Step values with the arrow keys, scrub by dragging labels, and type exact numbers.
Every number in EaseKit is built for quick, precise changes: you can type, step with the arrow keys, click the small stepper, or scrub by dragging the field's label. Sliders and dials share one set of gestures, too.
Number fields
- ↑ / ↓
- Step the value up or down by one step (usually 1) while the field is focused
- ⇧↑ / ⇧↓
- Step by 10 steps
- ⌥↑ / ⌥↓
- Step by 0.1 step
- Stepper
- The small up and down arrows that appear while the field is focused
- Drag the label
- Scrub the value left and right (one step every 4 px; ⇧ ×10, ⌥ ×0.1)
- Type and press Return
- Set an exact value. A comma works as a decimal point
Arrow keys and the stepper apply at once. A scrub applies when you let go. Some fields use their own step: border width and trim steps of 0.5 and 1, taper and stagger 5, video trim 0.1, video rate 0.05.
Values are kept
- Values you type are kept even if a popover closes before you press Return.
- Leaving the field (clicking elsewhere) commits it too.
- If a value is out of range, the field shows what was applied (for example 1000 pt text becomes 400 pt).
- An invalid entry falls back to the previous value.
Sliders and dials
- Drag to change the value. Tick marks appear while you drag.
- Hold ⇧ while dragging for fine control.
- ⌥-click to reset to the default.
- Double-click to type a value.
In Settings → Appearance → Sliders you can turn Haptic feedback (Force Touch trackpad) and the Soft click on scale ticks on or off. Every tick, the default and both ends give a tap.
