Suggestion: Change DoubleSlider Increment When Shift or Control Pressed

[MJW]

Double sliders have three values by which they can change: the UpDown increment, the small slider change, and the large slider change. Clicking the UpDown control adds or subtracts the increment. I would like to see the DoubleSlider control modified so that holding down the shift key while clicking would change the control by the small change, and holding down the control key while clicking would cause it to change by the large change.

 

There are many cases when the slider control precision has to be quite small (such as 4 decimal places) in some circumstances. Unless the increment is equally small, the only way to enter precise values is to type them in. However this often results in clicks for the typical circumstances producing almost no noticeable change. The proposed change would allow the rough position to be reached quickly, while still allowing precise adjustments. It would not affect the use of the control unless the user knowingly held down the shift or control key, so it would be unlikely to confuse a naive user.
