Step Slider – Linear Alternative to Step Dial
under review
AJ Kerezy
Description:
Introduce a “Step Slider” widget as a horizontal or vertical linear alternative to the existing Step Dial, for selecting from a defined list of values or steps.
Problem:
The current Step Dial widget is useful but not ideal for all layouts or workflows. Users who prefer linear sliders for visual clarity or accessibility have no equivalent for discrete step-based input.
Proposed Solution:
– Add a Step Slider widget with similar functionality to the Step Dial
– Supports defined lists of values or indexed steps
– Works horizontally or vertically
– Shows current value and step transitions clearly
– Optionally supports drag, tap, or increment/decrement buttons
Benefits:
– More layout flexibility, especially in tight or minimal UIs
– Better suited for certain use cases like preset selection, categories, or discrete levels
– Improves accessibility and user preference alignment
– Keeps visual logic consistent with other slider-based controls

Not exactly what you’re asking for, but one workaround you might be interested in in the meantime is using radio buttons and resizing the grid to be long and narrow so that it’s only one column or row. There’s no text display but it does help to solve the real estate issue.
