In some cases, the useful portion of a control is concentrated near 99% and that usually means its because a control should really be logarithmic.
I’m not asking for what happens after the control to be changed in any way, I’m only suggesting a context click mode-setting for sliders linear or logarithmic.
like a potentiometer on a guitar, you want the audio scale sometimes. this is a shortcoming on many a user interface over the centuries but today i believe we do have the technology to mitigate it.
