Operation question

Hi nameless, re: extrude repeat same distance, the problem there is that the Extrude command uses the distance input to show feedback on what distance you're getting with the current mouse point.

So filling that same field in with a previous value would be very fragile since it would get erased by any kind of mouse movement over the viewport.

That's why it's different behavior from Fillet. Also Extrude finishes as soon as the distance is set while Fillet has an additional wait until "Done" is pushed (or you use right-click or Enter as a shortcut for "Done").

Maybe a way that could work for commands like Extrude is if you could right click on the field and get a flyout menu with the last several values that were used there during this modeling session. That kind of conflicts with the Cut/Copy/Paste context menu but maybe that could be a bigger menu with the values at the top and then Cut/Copy/Paste below that... ?
