Hey,

I have a small feature request, the possiblillity to cancel the LMB 
input in "Number Buttons" with RMB.
It would be the same function, like the ESC key.

I have searched in the key map, but can't find a way to set it to RMB in 
the UserPrefs.

In the Wiki:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Interface/Buttons_and_Controls#Number_Buttons
"2. To change the value in a wider range, hold down LMB Template-LMB.png 
<http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/File:Template-LMB.png> and drag the 
mouse to the left or right." ...
"Pressing Esc will cancel editing."

Pressing RMB without releasing the LMB should have the same effects as 
pressing ESC.

- It would be faster for the workflow, bec. you don't have to move your 
other hand to the ESC-key.
- It's intuitive. ( A lot of applications do it this way)
- It would be consistent to other cancelation of input with RMB. (Right 
now, you can cancel the "g/grab movement", and value input into "Number 
Buttons" with RMB, too)

I have asked Ton about this feature some weeks ago, but he said (if I 
remember correctly), that it is problematic, bec. there is no OS-Event 
for "LMB+RMB".
But there is no OS-Event for "LMB+ESC" also, and we have this feature 
right now.

Could someone confirm Tons opinion on my request?
Do I have missed a setting in the key map?
Some more users who would find this feature a nice to have?

Greetings and happy blending
Conz
