Hi Neal,
thanks for the feature request.
You are not the only one who missed this particular feature - but I used
your vote together with other ones received recently as motivation to
implement that kind of input for the next release.
Thanks for the suggestion with 1.5 ticklength; I will see if this value
is accessable using the UI.
Best regards
Christian
