Joystick widget
The joystick widget: jog along one or two axes by dragging a knob or pressing its arrows.
less than a minute
A joystick writes a value along one or two axes while you drag its knob, for example a jog velocity to root/Control/hostInJointVelocity. The arrows around it, the nudges, send a fixed value while you press them.
