I would like to have a slider, which I can set up to be in range, say, from 0 to 255, which will be integer. I used the vsl slider ( https://puredata.info/docs/developer/PdFileFormat#r364 ), and that one produces float values, but I can have an [int] box after that, and I get integers - that is fine.

However, depending on the size of the slider, sometimes the finest motion I can do with the mouse, results in jumps of more than 1 count - and the vsl slider seems to not react on arrow key presses.

So, I would like to have the possibility to "nudge" or "step" the slider in a defined increment of 1, using the arrow keys; for instance, if you try this in HTML:

<input type="range" id="my_slider" name="my_slider" min="0" max="255" step="1" />

.... then the resulting slider can be selected with a click, and then one can press the Arrow Left/Right (or Up/Down) keys, and the slider will increment/decrement the current value for the step (here 1).

Is there anything like that - maybe an external - in PD?

Thanks!

Add arguments to set the slider range within the abstraction if you wish..... 0 254 or 1 10 or whatever.
Give the slider a $0 receive address and loadbang the range into it from the arguments sending it a message [$0-this_slider range $1 $2(
Then it will be more universal.
To be totally universal you will need arguments for log/lin, size and the colours.

There seems to be some kind of bug: If you change the slider value by key (key up or key down) and click on the slider, it will jump down a little.

Edit: By removing the [int] after [unpack] it gets a little better...

Edit 2: Here is a fun version, where the slider can be changed by left and right buttons: slidercontrol2.pd

Edit:
Weirdly nudging to a lower value, steps 2, but changing the message [-1( to -0.5 fixes that
