Slider Pointer Increment Size

I would like to use the Slider as a pointing device for text wither within a TextBox or against free Text.

In this case as a character counter. I’d like the spacing to match of course.



Slider value is 1




   



Likely I will need to use a fixed-font in the HTML text. But can the Slider’s pointer increment size be fixed as well (to match)?

Can this be done reliably?

You can define “step” size for the slider, so slider will round any value to the steps

slider.setStep(8);
slider.setValue(63)
alert(slider.getValue()) // 64 <= rounded to step size
