=== ISSUES ===

- If you select the number field, then type a single number, the rest of ciphers are filled with zeroes and the cursor goes to the left, not registering further input.

- If you move the slider you can only do in increments of 0.20, where you can clearly tell the difference in increments of 0.05.

- If you set a value lower than -0.95, suddenly the cursor goes so slow you will need plenty of time to move the slider back to a sane value. Yet you can't press "tab" then "alt" on the keyboard to select the slider, as there is no shortcut.


=== PROPOSALS ===

- Why having two ways to set the value? Why not just having a slider with 0.05 precision, and numbers that differentiate the increments, or a single number that tells the current value?

- Why doesn't the slider have a keyboard shortcut, highlighted while pressing "alt", same as the rest of the fields?

- Why not excluding extreme negative values?
