QoL: requests - left click to set min, right click to set max

Post by CoUsT »

Basically title.

Small and tiny change that would cut down time setting up requests in constant combinator, logistic groups etc.

Attached the screenshot what I'm talking about.

Current behavior is the same for left, right and middle click. It will adjust the most recently changed value, so either min or either max. With the QoL change you use left click for min and right click for max. You could also slide the min and max manually like you can do now.

Thoughts?

I'd be fine with left/right click for min and max, when you're clicking the bar and not the drag-things.

But for the root of the problem, IMO clicking the bar (outside of the drag-things) should adjust whatever value is closest to your mouse-click. So if I'm clicking to the right of my max, it should always move the max. If I'm clicking to the left of the min, it should always move the min. If you're in the middle, always move whichever one your mouse is closer to. I didn't realize it was moving the most recently dragged endpoint, and it was super confusing. :?

Yeah, that's what I meant! Maybe I worded myself poorly. Thanks!

Clicking whatever is closest to the mouse might work if you want to decrease min and increase max but if you want something in between you might not change what you wanted. Which is why left and right click ALWAYS make sure you change what you initially wanted without having to carefully move cursor on top of the drag-buttons then dragging it.

But yeah, moving closest will be improvement already but left/right click for min/max sounds best imo.
