You could have a single text-field for the lot, placed somewhere
convenient. On mouse-over on a slider or knob, attach it to the
textfield and move focus there. Mouse-wheel and arrows still works as
expected but the widget will be instantly ready for direct numeric input
without double-clicking. Gives you an exact readout of the current
numeric value as well without wasting too much screen real-estate.
