just fyi, ardour's plugin parameter controllers do all of this and
have done so for years. the only difference is that you double click
to enter a numeric value, since right clicks are exclusively reserved
for context menus.
For darktable we examined the slider from phat and created a similar
new, more usable widget which combines a label and a slider. You can
enter precise value after a right click inside the slider area, and
you can use pretty much anything as displayed unit: %, ", dB, px...
whatever. Here is an example:

The highlighted "-0.500" is where I right-clicked to enter precise
value.
That looks interesting. I take it you removed the fan drawing code?
What about imprecise but fine grained adjustments?
If not, would adding a modifier such as [shift] for finer grained
movement of the slider be considered? It probably would be unimportant
for darktable, but in an audio application where adjustmented has
immediate affect on the audio stream it would certainly be useful.
