It's a super newbie question but I don't know how to change the initial value of number box.

I just start learning max on Manjaro Linux with Wine Windows emulator.

So maybe it's a OS or window system dependent problem, I use Xfce4 window system.

I'm watching a YouTube tutorial below and a number box is appeared at around 9:33 .

On the video value is incremented gradually, by maybe mouse wheel?

But under my Linux I can't set the initial value of number box with mouse wheel.

I tried with double click or control+mouse wheel or alt+mouse wheel or all available combinations

of keys but can't change the default value 0.

If anyone know how to change the default value of number box on Linux,

the "normal" method to make an object start up with a custom state is to use [loadbang] to send that value into it.

some objects might also have a "default value" setting somewhere in their inspector.

otherwise GUI objects will always default to the lowest number.

the integer numberbox can be controlled with the arrow keys - the float number box can not.

WINE should not make any difference for mouse and keyboard input. if anything, you might experience drawing problems.

I checked the inspector and there are only Minimum and Maximum value.

The tutorial use integer numberbox, but the box doesn't accept arrow keys, only move accordingly by the keys in my case.

Maybe I should ask to the "Max on Linux" thread https://cycling74.com/forums/max-on-linux?replyPage=3 .

Now I can change the value of Integer numberbox from Menu -> View -> Parameters.

Thank you for your supports.

Welcome to the world of Max and Linux! Don't worry. We all start somewhere. Changing the initial value of a number box in Max is pretty simple, regardless of your operating system.
