i read the announcement that the input arrows got removed as being a rarely used UI control.
I feel slightly dumb now because I was still happily using them and I wonder how everyone else is feeling comfortable using only up/down keys nowadays? I have an oldschool device called a MOUSE and I feel uncomfortable seeing my right hand moving back and forth between mouse and keyboard
Can you please (at least) provide a Photoshop like solution, see gif below:
Alternatively add a double-click behaviour to select the input value and let me replace it by typing in the numbers (see other designer tools like figma for referenceā¦)
Marci you cannot argue with Webflow, when they say theyāve done internal testing and have the statsā¦ After all their latest pricing was validated with internal research!
Ditto @Marci - In addition, why are some drop-downs in Webflow a dot (or a short dash) as shown below, instead of the standard down arrow to signify dropdown as is the UI standard that is used by all professional tools I use and know of ā¦ Other drop-downs in Webflow are standard. Why this mixed metaphor?
Yep, I came to the forums just to find an explanation for this. It came with the ānew designer UI updateā. But seriously, why get rid of the arrows in the CSS panel Webflow??? Now I canāt do easy and accurate adjustments - I have to guess the value in percents or pixels every damn time until I get the element where I want it.
Youāre not the only one who was searching for this missing feature. And yes itās working with up and down keys.
Just a pity to get this information about this update just by logging out and in again to your account. Seems to be the only chance to get this update notifications, maybe for technical reasons. I think an email notification would have been another chance to inform users about updates, but I didnāt get any email about, although I set the checkmark for this notifications in my account.
Wow, I noticed just now, they have also changed the green colour of āPublished an hour agoā text in the Publish panel. Now itās so bright and tacky, looks so cheapā¦
@uzzer if it just would be the an unlikely color, I would not say any single word, but itās stability what Iām missing since some time. I already was mentioning this in another thread, but nobody here or at Webflow seems to see this stability problem, as I did not get any feedback until now.
I like that implementation - just skip the āhover to revealā (IMO) and leave them visible - the usage is then obvious to the new user and consistent with de facto UI standards.
In addition, I believe there is a good case for a System Preferences panel that will allow us to tailor the designer to our liking. (ie; set named, saved preferences) Most ādevelopment / designā tools offer this. Matt can have his arrows (me too) and Jorn can get rid of them. Would be very easy to implement in the system.
ā¦ thinking out loud ā¦ caffeine just kicked in ā¦
Iām super missing the arrows. I used them all the time. Taking my hand off the mouse or trackpad to press the arrow keys is making things take longer. +1 on the adobe style solution. Iāve always wished that Webflow had that.
Iām with you, Mr. Energi. I actually like it, too. For me, itās actually easier to just go straight to my keyboardās arrow keys while I have an element selected to fine-tune one pixel at a time or hold down shift for jumping 10 pixels at a time. It actually takes me more time to bring my mouse over to the up/down arrows to shift things around.
