Allow pressing E to confirm number input fields, by dropping support for scientific notation

[Tooster]

You know what you can do for now? Rebind "confirm window" shortcut in settings from "E" to "CTRL+E" (or personally I recommend even stronger "CTRL+SPACE") and learn that by muscle memory. It can be pressed using exclusively left hand as well (so no need to move hand from mouse to press ENTER), is quick as hell and doesn't interfere with the scientific notation. It would only require re-learning, but I absolutely don't see any disadvantage of that - it wouldn't conflict with other shortcuts, ctrl+space can be even faster to press (fingers naturally rest on CTRL and SPACE, I use it regularly in IDEs for programming to show autocompletion so it's like a second nature to me already). The only argument in favor of E is player attachment.

CORRECTION: I just tried it, and — unfortunately — the CTRL+SPACE shortcut DOESN'T WORK (bug!) when the input is focused!

I recently started designing blueprints and indeed found this to be very inconvenient. However, I noticed that I can directly click the window to exit the input interface (it must be on the same layer, otherwise the window will close), and then press 'e' to confirm.

Is it possible to use the tab key to exit the input box, just like clicking the window with the mouse?

could a few basic values ​​be provided that can be selected directly with the mouse like signals, such as 1, 2, 3, 1K? I usually use the numeric keypad on the right to input 1000, but I wouldn't use it to input 1.

could restore the constant field to allow only numeric input, so you can directly confirm using 'e', ​​and then create a separate dedicated formula field.
