Description

Environment

  • Package version(s): v3.52.0
  • Browser and OS versions: MacOS Monterey 12.1

Feature request

RangeSlider provides the ability to choose a range between upper and lower bounds. It works great for simple case but when you are working with wide range for [0, 10000], it can quickly become quite annoying to select the good value. It could be a great addition to blueprint to add the ability to double click on bounds to show for example an Alert to directly fill desired bounds.

Examples

I quickly capture a website that provide this kind of feature, style is quite different but the idea still the same :

Research direction
Start by examining the RangeSlider component source code in the Blueprint repository (likely in packages/select/src/components/slider/rangeSlider.tsx). Understand how the current slider handles mouse events for dragging the upper and lower bounds. Then, investigate the feasibility of adding a double click handler on the slider handles. Consider using the Blueprint Dialog or Alert component to display an input form for precise values. Look for any existing patterns in the codebase for similar interactions.
