Scrub values by dragging mouse in the property inspector

Like in Photoshop, when you click on a label the belongs to a value text field, you should be able to drag to increase or decrease that number value.

    I'm so used to working in other Adobe apps and it always amazes me that that each seem to do very similar things a totally different way. Like these are all done by separate companies.

    For the type tool - it should have other options other than typing in a value by hand. With PS you can drag your mouse left or right on the values and change them. Just seems like it could work in a similar fashion in XD.

    Apparently this works on windows, but please make this work on Mac OS. I know it seems small but this is probably the main reason I keep going back to Figma.

    Adobe XD has this feature. You have to select the value in the text field, then click and hold the left mouse button and drag up and down (vertically) to increase and decrease.

    I definitely agree, glad someone started this conversation earlier. I'm a few weeks in at this project I started on XD just because I could do prototypes easily. But as time goes on, I'm feeling more bummed when I discover so many inconveniences like this. I hope they solve this one soon. XD is the only design tool that doesn't allow this out there, INCLUDING all other Adobe tools.

    It amazes me that Adobe products still have so much inconsistency between similar items. It's like they are all working in different places and dont talk.

    But the one that I think should change is the type size control in XD - why do you have to type in a value when every other app let's you either drag or click to do it?

    In photoshop and other programs you can drag character elements like size, kerning, tracking to increase or decrease without having to manually input numeric values with the keyboard. PLEASE thank you.

    Please implement this feature in Mac OS! I was amazed to see this is working in Windows but we are missing this feature that has been in Adobe apps for ages...

    This is a huge issue with many many posts about it, but each post uses different terminology so you may be missing the importance to people.

    Like many other apps, it would be nice to be able to click on a numerical property like W (width), H (height), X, Y, Rotate and be able to simply drag the mouse up/down or right/left to increment/decrement the associated value.

    Would like the mouse to be able to drag up or down right or left font size in the character panel a lot like Photoshop has right now when you hover over the icon.

  • Andi Galpern commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    When in the type panel, I'd like to be able to press down on the type size and drag my cursor to the left or the right to quickly increase or decrease the font size.

    Position and scale values can be dragged with the mouse on Windows. It seems like this is not working on MacOS, which is really frustrating.

    I wasn't sure if it is a bug or a left out feature, maybe somebody can clarify that. Seems like a very small fix.

    Thanks!

    It would be awesome if the Mac version had the draggable bar in the value boxes like the Windows version.

    On the Windows version the bar underneath the values can be dragged up and down to go add or subtract from the values. However I'm not seeing this on the Mac version.

    Just like Photoshop, give us the ability to change numeric fields value using the move as a range slider.
