Suggestion: fine control in resource gauges
Description
Tweaking amount of fuel/thrust ratio or parachute altitude is often 'pixel hunt' for me, at one pixel the value is 60, one pixel right it's 60.5 and this 0.5% is usually matter of the rocket flying or crashing. Please add [+] and [-] buttons at ends of these gauges so I can set it roughly by dragging and then make fine adjustments using these buttons. Or add numpad +/- keys or mouse wheel function over the gauge to make single steps in its value; for either their default function in view (zooming) is already masked but they do nothing with the value.
Also parachutes have 50 as lowest setting but the very next is 300 and then it goes by 50, values 100, 150, 200, and 250 are missing (or unreachable). Now that parachute opens slowly, these values would be very useful because for purposes of fast landing 50 is often too little and 300 is already too much.

Updated by For the fine control I'd propose right click on the bar in question to allow entry of the value you want (this should be done globally so tweakables get it too).
Regarding chutes, I've had way too many impacts because I tried using 300m for fast landing that I'm just sticking with 500m, just the default pressure is annoying because by default would you be at an altitude where your chutes burn up.
Also the change above should if done right give you the fine control for chutes.

Updated by This is a very good suggestion and has been often talked about, but seems to have never been tracked.
There is wider scope that this could be applied to, so I have created an issue for a more generalised method for setting discrete values.

Updated by What clarification is needed? The issue relates to the limitations of the UI in tweabables. It can be challenging to get a desired value due to the fact that the sliders are imprecise.
