Allow editing slider values as text, at least for DynamicMap about panel HOT 5 OPEN

As noted in issue ( holoviz/holoviews#2178 ), would be nice to see this in the context of Gridded Datasets as well. Still new to holoviews, so sorry if I'm just repeating what's in the OP.

Thanks @MarcSkovMadsen but that's not really what the request was. For this issue to be fully addressed the HoloViews pane would have to support this by default for float/int based widgets.

It would be very cool if values can be entered outside the range of the param, and that than the param range would increase. Often, when I investigate some parameter space, I find halfway that my ranges are insufficient. It is quite a work to create a new dmap with a larger range, set the other x parameters back to their values.

Makes sense. Sounds like you want something like the param package's "softbounds".

ipywidgets sliders now allow editing the textual value; not sure if that's any help when trying to implement this.

I will close this one. The initial request of editing slider values have been solved with https://blog.holoviz.org/panel_0.12.0.html#New-widgets

For example we can now do

import param
import panel as pn
import holoviews as hv
import numpy as np

slider = pn.widgets.EditableFloatSlider(name='EditableFloatSlider', start=0, end=3.14)

def plot(value):
    xs = np.linspace(-5,5,100)
    return hv.Curve((xs,-(xs-2)**2))  * hv.Text(0, -30, str(value))
plot=pn.bind(plot, value=slider)

pn.Column(
    slider,
    pn.pane.HoloViews(hv.DynamicMap(plot))
).servable()
