Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When I want put a specific range of timeline about presentation in Threads visualization, I must use through many clicks the Zoom in and Zoom out icons respectively

Describe the solution you'd like

To avoid use many clicks in the two icons mentioned, I think would be valuable add two fields:

  • A select box or dropdown box to let select the time unit, such as milliseconds, seconds and minutes (even perhaps nano seconds)
  • A text field to put the number

Therefore I would be able to select:

  • each 0.25 milliseconds
  • each 1 minute
  • each 1.50 seconds

etc

Thanks in advance for your understanding

Research direction

Start by locating the Threads visualization and its existing Zoom in and Zoom out controls. Trace how the current timeline range is represented and changed; done means users can select a time unit and enter a numeric interval to set the requested timeline range without repeated zoom clicks.
