Beginners' Questions Drag to change stroke width?

    I love the fast blur and opacity sliders, but how come stroke width doesn't have a similar slider?

    I get that a stroke can be 0.001-100000 but there's a default number, inside a recangular box, why not enable dragging inside of that box which enables slight tweaking?

    Is there another way to tweak stroke width by dragging the mouse? This documentation page mentiones a stroke gesture, but I can't get it to work in Windows...

    Seems to work here, Win 10.

    I don't have that bar visible. I just use the fill and stroke panel, and I can't get that working from there...

    Thank you, but that gesture as you demonstrated it seems much more convoluted than just having a slider as with the blur and opacity.

    No Status bar? good luck with that.

    The numeric entry for stroke also allows to click in the field and roll the mouse wheel.
