By default, when you click the small "+" symbol, at the right of a slider (in Manipulate and Animate), you get an input field and several buttons (play, pause, etc). How do you remove all buttons for all the sliders in a Manipulate box, except the input fields ?
The documentation isn't obvious at all for customization like this, and searching the site didn't helped much. Sorry if I missed something related.
ControlType -> Slider
. $\endgroup$Manipulate[ Plot[Sin[x (1 + a x)], {x, 0, 6}], {a, 0, 6, AppearanceElements -> {"InputField", "Slider"}}]
? $\endgroup$
