What is the context of the feature/improvement?

Being a European, our numeric keypads on our keyboards has a commas and not points between the zero and return/enter keys. When inserting a number for a properties value, it would be super convenient if Toolkit allowed commas to be used the same way point is: As a decimal separator! This would allow for swift and easy input of numbers using your right hand on the numeric keypad only.

Please describe the feature/improvement?

This is also not supported on USD Composer or any other app I've tried. I'm surprised this hasn't come up before. What sort of layout are you using?

Hi Sam! Yes, I thought it would be really handy. Because the numeric keypad is much easier to work with when inputting numbers, it's also close to the mouse, so dialing in numbers into property boxes will be smoother and quicker. I have a standard Swedish QWERTY keyboard, like everyone in Sweden. I'm unsure for every other country though. My numeric keypad consists of the following layout:

Hey @PappaSlask, does this work in any other DCC (such as Blender, Maya, Unreal, etc) that you're aware of?

Guys, I'm so sorry about the long delay, I'll shape up when it comes to maintaining my tickets. Now to address your question: I've tested this in Blender, and it works as I expect it to. The numpad comma acts like a point and I can do 0.01 flawlessly. However if I try using the comma over at the regular side of the keyboard, it won't accept it.

In Photoshop, it doesn't even accept points, so it's comma all the way anyway.

@nvdamien Hello sir, I rather not fiddle with my default windows keyboard settings. I'd much rather you guys could allow numpad commas to be interpreted as points, similar to how Blender does it.

@NV-LL How do I reopen the ticket sir?
