I don't know that it's possible to change the default slider button in the menu, but you can easily create your own custom slider - just double click on canvas (or hit F4), type a number, and hit enter. Entering integers 10 through 100 will set the value to that number with a range of 0 to 100. Using a decimal to a specific number of digits will set the precision of the values. You can also set the range by entering an "x<y<z" format.  You will need to have GH version .8.0052 or later installed for this to work.

 

Other initialization shortcuts from http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/grasshopper-0-8-0052-avai... :

● Typing a double quote (") into the Popup Search box will now always create a Text Panel.
● Typing a double slash (//) into the Popup Search box will now always create a Text Panel.
● Typing a tilde symbol (~) into the Popup Search box will now always create a Scribble.
● Typing a number into the Popup Search box will now always create a Number Slider.
● Typing a plus symbol (+) into the Popup Search box will now always create an Addition component.
● Typing a minus symbol (-) into the Popup Search box will now always create a Subtraction component.
● Typing an asterisk symbol (*) into the Popup Search box will now always create a Multiplication component.
● Typing a slash symbol (/) into the Popup Search box will now always create a Division component.
● Typing a backslash symbol (\) into the Popup Search box will now always create an Integer Division component.
● Typing a percent symbol (%) into the Popup Search box will now always create a Modulus component.
● Typing an ampersand symbol (&) into the Popup Search box will now always create a Concatenation component.

 This is excellent. I wasn't aware of the shortcuts or the ability to enter numerics through the canvas quick search. 

Cheers.

Thanks for posting this I've been looking for that scribble shortcut. :)

I haven't found a way to do this, but once I set one up I just copy and paste it instead of recreating it.  it's not ideal, but it saves a little time.

Indeed.... however the solution above from Greg works well.  Thanks for the reply.
