Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
It would be great if there was a way to type in a number or use a scroll wheel to finely change the pixel padding between zones right now it's just click and drag with the mouse which on large monitors become pretty inaccurate.
Scenario when this would be used?
Used when wanting to change pixel padding more accurately.
