Apply button for command dialog boxes

This idea was originally posted here:

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/ideastation-request-a-feature-or/apply-button-in-various-commands-dia...

...but was archived due to there already being an equivalent functionality in Fusion.   However, the suggested equivalent function uses mouse gestures, which I (and some others) don't really like.  Particularly I find mouse gestures difficult to use due to the style of trackball that I use.

Anyway, the requested functionality is an "apply" button for commands that typically require many selections to be made (like fillet), or are repeated frequently (extrude, move, etc.).

If I am understanding your idea correctly, then I agree with you. My problem is that once you get several items selected at a time it starts to really bog down for adding new items, since it regenerates every single one of them each time you add one. I would like a way to suspend the update of the changes until I have made ALL of the changes, and then apply them all at once (without hitting OK and exiting from the dialog box). Then I could "preview" the changes once I am ready, and make more if needed.

The only "workaround" I have found for this is to constantly hold the "CTRL" button while making the selections, which will suspend the update until you let off of CTRL.

@kebes22  That wasn't quite what I was thinking of but it's an interesting point.  The original idea was more about being able to quickly repeat a command and breaking up features that require many selected entities.  I'm not sure if this is the best way to deal with the slow preview problem or not.  Will have to think about this one.
