Number Imput Buttons/Links (stupid idea)

this is more of a convinence thing. im personally tired of having to type a one and then six zeros every time i want to type a million. sometimes the pop up box comes up with things you've typed before, but then if you've typed 50 different things then that list is huge. and of course, when you accidently type one zero too much or too little and then next thing you know an ascension is messed up entirely.

I dont know if there would be a way to put buttons that like, you click one button and it puts 10m into your train box or click another and it puts one million ect ect. that way when you actually type it the long way it's for exact numbers like 1,234,567.

i'm not exactly sure how to work it i just thought of the general idea. i'm personally tired of typing amounts over and over or useing copy paste. sorry if this isn't a perfect description but hopefully people get what i'm going for here?

You can remove items from the autocomplete list by highlighting the number and hitting the "Delete button". This can clear your list up a bit, yet still help you with your number input.

Sorry, not a great idea. if you had buttons for 1m, 10m 100m, what about 2m, 3m, 4m, 20m, 30m etc?

Just type it. Society is lazy enough without turning this in to a point and click game.

Although you could use the buttons as a multiplier. You input 1, it multiplys by 1m, 10m, 100m.

tada, instant set of 0's, if you reckon you will use multiples of 10 mill more then add another 0, or take one off for under 1 mill. Cntrl+v to apply my amazing game fix.
