Nice to see my design having some impact.

Sad it's not radial, but I hope the soon to be released fan-slider

implementation will change the world anyway :)

I think right click should be reserved for context menus.

For knobs they could contain:

- Set to Minimum

- Set to Maximum

- Center

- Copy

- Paste
Set to center is only interesting for parameters like panning.

I used an arrowhead/triangle above the knob to indicate the nature

of the control and its center value. But it was also meant to be

clickable for centering the value.
