Description

As mentioned by @PavelGolodoniuc in #2443, rangesliders don't have very flexible positioning - they always go right below the associated axis (and tick labels if they're shown) and you can set their thickness as a fraction of plot area, but perhaps we could allow them to get a full domain: [bottom, top] or even domain: {x: [left, right], y: [bottom, top]} so you can control the width too, not be restricted to the same width as the x axis.

Research direction

The issue names rangeslider positioning and references #2443, but no implementation files, tests, or entry points. Start by reading #2443 and tracing the rangeslider layout code; done means supporting configurable vertical and horizontal domains without restricting the slider to the associated axis width.
