Enter ruler guide position manually

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I am unsure if this is a feature implemented and just hidden or not available. When I drag out guides from the horizontal or vertical ruler, I can only move them by dragging them with my mouse. Having to exactly hit the correct pixel with the mouse can be very frustrating. As a band-aid, I sometimes create random boxes and move their x position and make the guide snap to it.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like to drag a guide out and set a specific pixel position for the guide, so it should be possible to select a guide and enter a x/y position manually.

Describe alternatives you've considered I don't think there is an alternative other than zooming in further and trying to hit the correct position with the mouse.

I'm afraid but there is no current way to do this at Penpot. It is a very nice suggestion though, it would clearly help to more precise uses of the guides. I've added it as an enhancement to our roadmap so it could be a candidate at our future prioritizations: https://tree.taiga.io/project/penpot/issue/4188
