What I'd love to see - number entry text boxes with minor math
ajb:
Oh, another application that already does this is CorelDraw, I don't know how extensive its calculation entry support is, but at least some places like the X/Y location and size boxes will take at least basic arithmetic entry. Like if you want to move an object a specific distance you can append "+50mm" or whatever to the end of the current value. It will also do unit translation, so you can enter values in pixels, points, millimeters, inches, etc, and it does the necessary conversions as well as the arithmetic.

Allegro does it.

Believe it or not, our pick&place machines (GSM's) running on OS/2 (yes, really!) have that feature - since 90's...And it's a great help.
