In fact you can! Just edit the text in the text field and enter "0.5". I use this value all the time, probably for the same reason why you want to be able to. :)

Doesn't seem to work for me, if I type '0' to type '0.5' it just switches to 'no delay'

Try with a , instead of a .
Probably some locale dependency (mine is HR and uses , instead of . ) :)

Already tried that. Doesn't work either
BUT
What I noticed that if I type:
0,5
it just goes to no delay. while if i type:
,5
it shows 0,5 in the field and it does work actually.

So it seems to be that if you try and put in that first 0 it goes to 'no
delay' and ignores any further input.
Which isn't very intuitive, it should allow for entering
0,5
and have it work

Cheers,

@Nate Graham
this would be a one liner:
https://invent.kde.org/graphics/spectacle/-/blob/master/src/Gui/KSWidget.cpp#L80

Change to 0.5.
Yay or nay?

Undecided.

Changing the step is easy, but I don't think that half-second increments are useful after a second. There's a use case for a 0.5 second delay, but IMO not really a use case for a 1.5 second or 2.5 second delay. Just using 1 or 2 or 3 seconds is fine.

Maybe there's a way to make the spinbox go from 1 second to 0.5 seconds if you click the down arrow when the current value is 1 second?

Looking at
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qdoublespinbox.html
&
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qabstractspinbox.html

Nothing to find that would add that kind of functionality out of the box. Seems like this would require some bits of logic to be added.

I'd give it a try and see if it can be done with some simple two-three liner. IMHO more than that for such a small feature would be too much.

Doesn't seem worth it given that the current "simple by default" one-second steps are good enough for most people and "powerful when needed" half-second steps already work.
