This is a standard feature in a lot of a apps that use sliders (photo editors etc)

Can you point to an app that does this? Where does the double-clicking usually work? On the text, slider, number? All? Some?

It was a new one for me too. Some googling only finds references to Lightroom.

I hope it's not on the slider, as that would have negative accessibility consequences (correction of loss from a mistake is harder than making that mistake).
I also hope it's not on the label, as that's traditionally been a way of selecting text in an app.
I also hope it's not on the number, as that's traditionally been a way of focussing on the field so that keyboard input can be used.

So, from a usability viewpoint, I can't say I like the sound of the feature at all.
Or, in the words of some rando on the internet who appeared in my google search results talking about some unknown app: "Double click on the slider feels wrong." (https://forum.renoise.com/t/reset-slider-to-default-value/18261 )

If you can bring focus to the field, what's the behaviour of pressing the delete key presently? That might be seen as a sensible way of reverting any user changes to that field.

Maybe I am just to used to Adobe apps, but really just a quick way to reset a slider to default would be helpful

But what is that way? I don't see it in Photoshop.

Looks like its just a Lightroom thing and I was imagining it was more common for some reason

DaVinci Resolve

That's the other one I use.

Seems common in media/creative apps
