Changing brightness and sound output level with mouse wheel or shortcuts is much easier and comfortable than clicking and dragging the sliders, but in some scenarios the increment/decrement step is too much big, for example in night with low light changing brightness by step equal to 5 hurts really the eyes, and also when using headphones it would much better to change sound volume by step smaller than 5.
The step size is already configurable for volume.
With 5.27.7, If I use my laptop touchpad scroll edges it increases/decreases by a step of 1, but with an external mouse wheel it's still using a step equals to 5.
Yes, that's intentional, because with a touch scroll you get finer control. I think it's also unrelated to what this bug report is about.
When holding shift while scrolling, step size is 1 % in Plasma 6

Created attachment 168875 [details] attachment-756527-0.html No it works for brightness too. Hold the shift button and scroll the night light widget / plasmoid. Brightness adjusts in 1% steps in Plasma 6.

If it was also added for brightness, then it's half broken. I'm on Plasma 6.0.4 and holding shift while scrolling brightness widget icon doesn't increase/decrease brightness by 1%. But when you click on brightness widget, and it opens then you move the mouse pointer over the brightness slider, and you hold shift while scrolling it seems to increase/decrease by 1% in that case.
