Use comma to separate direct XYZ entries

When working on architectural drawings, precision is often important. I'm constantly entering specific dimensions and when entering XY&Z there a particular detail that could be make it a bit simpler.

Example: G-to move something, enter X & Y coordinates for that move

In order to do this you need to enter "X" "tab" "Y". I know is seems like a silly detail, but a comma or space is the most common way to enter coordinates in CAD systems and this little detail becomes something you have to think about every time. It would be amazing is a comma could be used to move between values.

Hi. At first it seemed unnecessary to me until I opened Blender to test what you mention: and the truth is that as long as any of the axes (x, y or z) are not locked, this function can be very useful. Also, the comma does not affect anything while the transform command (G) is currently running.
