Big usability issue : cannot drag to adjust numbers

Especially in typography, in almost other programs I could drag the icon or something around the box to linearly adjust the number until it is good.
For example this letter spacing and line spacing is the utmost important in designing things, you provided 3 interfaces : dropdown, updown button and typing values.

Dropdown : You can hover through to find a starting point. However I find myself often wanting to go over +50 it provided. But +- 100 might be too long for the drop down. So, I believe dragging is the solution while still keeping  +- 50

Up down button : I thought I could drag this but no, it is an increment by a discreet 1. It is useful when you are staring at typeface and try to fix that remaining kerning weirdness, but to get there usually it requires holding down this button and wait for the value to arrive. I think it would be much more pleasant to use if I can drag, dragging goes faster and slower according to my hand and I have no need to wait.

Typing values : I have to trial and error each breakpoint value, dragging value and see immediate result is miles better.

Scrolling (simply place the cursor over Value) ±1, with Shift ±10, with Ctrl ±0.1.

In Dropdown, just move the cursor over the values.
