Quick array using operators in Edit mode
It would be very very convenient if in edit mode and also object mode, we could copy an object multiple times by quickly pressing "x" + number, or "/".
eg. #1 You copy an object 5m to the left, then press "x10", and the object will copy 10x in 5m intervals.
eg. #2 You copy an object 50m to the left, then press "/10", and the object would be copied equidistanced 10x between the first and the last object.
Sketchup works like this and it's very fast when you want to array. I know you can use modifiers, geo-nodes and instancing, these are useful but the way i'm telling is also useful in its own way, helps to not break the editing flow.
Thanks

You can press shift R to repeat the last operation. That can be used to quickly make duplicates. Maybe this operator could be given an option to set the amounts of repeats to give what you want.
well, yes, but also the divide by is a very convenient feature to equally distribute the objects
