Yep, that’s an option as well, and some tools do it. Figma’s only layer opacity slider is via holding a modifier and dragging the text input field. I personally like having opacity sliders as well. They provide a nice visual representation of the state that’s easier to parse than reading a number, and you can also do things like set 100% with a single click. Layer opacity is important enough that it should have a text field, a draggable value with a modifier, and a slider. The other main point of the article is that these tools don’t seem to even realise their precision sucks.
