Number Field Extended Options (Feature Request)

[KeygenLLC]

A few few features I would like to see added to the Number field to extend its capability:

Features

1. Padding
2. Increment Buttons
3. Keyboard Incrementing
4. More complex number formats

Ideas for Implementation

• A checkbox option to Enable Number Padding
  • An integer field to specify how much padding or total number of digits
    • a radio button choice to set whether this field is for padding amount or total digits
  • A field for what integer to use (some may need something other than 0 for padding. could even allow symbols)
• A checkbox option to Enable Increment Arrows or some such description (small up/down carat style to the right)
• A checkbox option for Keyboard Incrementing (using the up/down arrow keys)
  • Modifier option to use the Shift key for incrementing in 10s, Alt/Option + Shift to increment in hundreds
    • Or go berserk and provide additional user-defined modifier increment values
• A checkbox option to Enable Number Grouping (for things like SMPTE timecode)
  • An integer field to define number of groups
  • An integer field to define the number of places in each group
  • A string field to define the separator character(s)

It may even be good to permit some of these features to be passed over into the Entries themselves, so users of the control panel can adjust what they need in realtime—such as adding additional number groups to their timecode. At first, simply having features like this available in the Field creation would be great. I would use them for setting unique IDs on things (not database IDs, but for admin tracking/sorting and/or front-end use), Video Duration, Basic Time Stamps, SMPTE timecode for generating EDLs, etc..

Anyway, there ya go.
