Drag to Change Property Values ("Hot Text")

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to change a large amount of properties with ease. Since I both operate the mouse and type in numbers with my right hand, every time I change a property I have to mouse over, click, move my hand to the keyboard, type in a number, and move it back to the mouse. I lose about a second each time–seemingly insignificant, except I change hundreds or even thousands of properties every day.

A common solution other programs use (Premiere Pro, Blender, etc) is “hot text,” the ability to drag a value right or left to increase or decrease it–that way, the keyboard isn’t required at all. It’s significantly faster, and much more streamlined.

If Roblox is able to address this issue, I would be able to change large amounts of properties in only a third of the time it takes now.

Note: don’t google “hot text”
