Item-Transform-Opposite Direction

Hi I find in my workflow that I commonly duplicate objects and move them to the same negative value for example X=101 would become X=-101.. ..is there a shortcut for this?

If not I feel it would be used by many people.

Usage would be a new button in; "3D View - Item Panel - Transform - Location"

This button transforms a negative number into a positive number, or the other way around.

An extra feature could be a create duplicate check box.

Shift + D
right click to leave the duplicate in its original position
Hover your mouse over the X location value box and press the minus key at the top of your keyboard to automatically make the value negative.

If your 3d cursor is at the world origin you can set the pivot to the 3d cursor and scale x negative one.

You can just multiply the location by -1. It's fast enough for me. If it's not for You, it seems like something that can be done with a simple one button add-on.
