Copy & paste entire vertex coordinates

Copy & paste entire vertex coordinates

It would be extremely helpful to be able to copy an entire vertex coordinate into the clipboard, and then paste it. Right now, if you want exact coordinates, you have to enter X, Y, Z by hand. This is cumbersome and prone to mistakes.

In comparison, some game engine editors, like UE, allow you to copy/paste coordinates:

This is what it actually looks like in the clipboard, so you can manipulate it, if you want, before pasting:

(X=-8000.000000,Y=2000.000000,Z=76000.000000)

 

This could be a huge time saver.

 

Apologies if this already exists and I just haven't been able to find/figure out how to do it.

Another idea: add an "Invert" button next to each coordinate (X, Y, Z), that will toggle between positive and negative numbers. i.e. -400, click Invert, switches to 400; and vice versa: 400, click Invert, switches to -400. This would also be really handy and faster than doing it by hand.

not sure about the inverter button but for the other Im 100%.
