Value dragging behaviour in property grid

Open mrvux opened this issue 8 years ago • 0 comments

Hello, here is a small request for improvement on property editor.

When we first hover a box on a vector component, we have a drag cursor (so we can click and move mouse to modify value)

Once we done dragging (release left click), the box gets focused, which means we can't drag again anymore until we focus something else (we need to click away or tab and go there again, which is time consuming and a bit confusing)

I see two ways to improve the workflow on that part:

  • Differenciate between click/drag (so don't focus the box unless we moved the mouse from a certain amount)
  • Add a small dedicated area designated for dragging value instead of editing (on the left)

Personally I'd prefer the second option (I have this in some of my tools, I think unreal does the same). It makes the intent much clearer and does not take much more space (click in the textbox to edit value, click on area to tweak)

Thanks
