+--- Thread: Can't turn back from a numeric input mode to a mouse movement input mode. (/showthread.php?tid=2199)
Can't turn back from a numeric input mode to a mouse movement input mode. - tkbd - 10-26-2016
In general modeling commands excution,they can't turn back from a numeric input mode to a mouse movement input mode.
For example,when excute general Face > Extrude command.
In the last operation, an User can choose extrude-distance input by mouse movement mode or numeric input mode.
(Switch for using ESC key or Tab Key)
This time using tab key and appeare an input window,But the command has been ended by close at numeric input window or press ESC key.
In Wings3D v1.5.x,User could switch each mode(mouse movemnt and numeric input) for the operation.
However in Wings3D v2.0 later can't.
This was one of the useful features of Wings.
OSX 10.11.6
Wings3D v2.1

It was necessary to remove that feature to fix another bug (in 2.0.x),
I don't remember now but you can look around on the fixed issues.
I.e. I couldn't then fix the problem in another way, and that problem was worse
than the feature was good.

Thanks for reply.
In the thread remembered that I was also writing
.I see ,It is a thorny issue.
Probably We'll explore a different way.
For example If press the ESC key when the Numeric Dialog mode,
(To reproduce the same situation) While retaining the current input values, then to invoke "Repeat Args (D)" command automatically.
I thought this idea seems simple but difficult...
Or,re-design it as a modeless dialog...
Anyway I favorited the freedom of former operation.
But,I know when gain something,lose something.
