Hello !

Request if possible : Make the brightness slider on the display's edge less sensitive (the vertical slider you can use when reading, not the one in the proper brightness menu).

Motivation : On my Libra 2 when reading in bed I either use 4% or 2% brightness, depending on ambiant light. However, I find it very difficult to set the value accurately when sliding on the edge to set the brightness. Most of the time, the smallest increment I can manage is by 3%, and if I try to make even shorter swipes then I'll likely highlight some text instead.
As a result, I often resort to using the proper brightness menu with the +/- 1% buttons.

Side note : I haven't used KoReader in a while (and never on my Libra 2) but IIRC, the slider on the display's edge was less sensitive on it, making it a lot easier to set precise values with it. This leads me to believe it might be possible to fix in Nickel.

P.S : Thank you to everyone involved in making Kobo Patches. They offer massive improvements and make it possible to enjoy Nickel without being frustrated by the lack of customisation.
