      I'm not sure if it is present in all of the Angle sliders or only this one.

      Suggestion for improvements to the interface in the future.
      The sliders are a universal UI elements, but in the case of angles are not very intuitive. Maybe a circular slider or some kind of knob would be better.

        @encart I did try a circular slider, but I find it either uncomfortable or taking up too much space (of course it looks nicer).

          @encart About allowing negative angles: I did consider this originally, and (besides the longer slide interval) I think it is much easier to set -45 to get a downward 45 degree angle, than computing.

            @vectoradmin I agree with @encart that a circular slider for Angle is the best — it shows the angle visually, at a glance, as opposed to the linear one.
            What is the uncomfortable part, if I may ask?

              @vectoradmin I have nothing to negatives values, but from -360 to 360 is 720deg - 2 x full angle. Shouldn't be in -180/180 range?

              Edit:

              Sorry, I already know what you meant.

              I still have the impression that these are the problems caused by the lack of a circular slider with scale and snapping. When looking at such a slider, you immediately get clear information.

                Throwing an idea out there - what about a small preview of the angle as a line next to the slider? So as you adjust the slider, the line shifts accordingly, giving you the slider for control and the line for a visual?

                  @Boldline If you would do a quick mockup of your idea it would help us understand it better.

                    The Affinity model with a circular clock-like slider and a numeric field in the middle is very elegant and small too.

                      My mock up skills are not on your level @b77 , but this is what I was envisioning:
