improve combinator gui for value input

Post by kann_ »

One thing that really bothers me is how the number input in combinators work. It requires too many mouse/keyboard actions just to change a number.
If I want to input "-1" I have to select the field, select the input field in the bottom of the screen, input "1", go to the left with the keyboard, input "-", hit enter.

I'd like to suggest that inputting "-" before the number is possible so that I can just type "-1".
I also suggest that the number field is selected by default when the gui opens.
I also suggest that one can use the mouse-wheel to increase/decrease values by hovering over them.

This might be inconsistent with current controls, but programming with combinators is tedious and it needs some improvements.

The first suggestion was apparently a bug and got fixed in [0.12.33].

The other two ... does anybody even care?
