- I want to use the ALT key to slow down the effect of the slider in a "Manipulate" output. Unfortunately, pressing ALT sends the slider to the left end. So it's impossible to fine-tune around the right part of the slider.
It says here ...

[section : Initial Values and Labels]
...that you can fine-tune a "Manipulate" slider by holding down the ALT key while you drag the handle. This is indeed the case, but unfortunately, the ALT key causes the slider to jump immediately to the left end of the slider. Then, if I move the mouse all the way across the screen, I can just get it to cover half the slider's length in this fine mode.
This means that I can't do fine-tuning in the right half of the slider. I have tried setting the default value of the slider variable to a larger initial value. But even in that case, the "home" position of the slider in "slow" mode is always the left end.
Is there a way to fix this?
