Interaction

Scrub estimator

Number fields you drag sideways to scrub, with a rubber-band overrun at the limits, a live delta above the pointer and click-to-type.

Where it earns its place

Configurators and estimators with several numeric inputs, where dragging is faster than typing: quote builders, pricing calculators, design tools.

What we changed

  • Built into a project estimator: pages, locales and motion scenes drive a fixed-price estimate from $15,000 and a week count.
  • Kept the log-curve overrun past the limits (it gives, then resists) and the spring back on release. The overrun now shows as the field leaning into the pull, not as an out-of-range number.
  • Kept click-to-type, the spinbutton semantics, Page, Home and End keys and Escape to cancel a drag; Left and Right arrows now step too, and Shift gives tens.
  • Dropped the document-level cursor override the original sets during a drag; pointer capture keeps the cursor on the field without touching the page.
  • Cut the size presets, colour props and fine multiplier: one field shape on Kinetiq tokens, with a champagne fill line showing where the value sits in its range.
