Thanks for this PR, @gulianow! I can tell you put a good amount of time and thought into this. I look forward to reviewing it. However, I'll be on vacation shortly, so it will probably be a few weeks before I'm able to begin the review.

[gulianow]

Hi, I don't want to bother you, but how does it look with your review?

[seancolsen]

@gulianow Reviewing this PR is still on my to-do list, but is queued below a number of higher-priority tasks. I'll get to it at some point, but I can't promise it will be before the end of the month because this change is a rather low priority for the product.

In the mean time, I'll say this: from a quick glance at the diff, I noticed that your latest commit changes some python files. The changes in this PR should be limited to files contained within mathesar_ui/src/component-library/number-input, as was the case with your first commit.

[gulianow]

Yes, I understand. I am sorry, I changed and pushed some python files by mistake. Now they should be deleted from pull request.
Thanks a lot.
