I assumed that this was a language translation anomaly. That he had a German word in mind that was probably similar to ‘fetish’ or ‘compulsion’ but loosely translated as ‘monstrosity’.
My compulsion for coordinate entry was seeking an option to use 10-key numeric keypad without mousing or tabbing or commas. Re-indexing between each coordinate for a comma or cardinal direction letter really disrupts the workflow. (And I can never remember the keystrokes for a degree symbol.)
The keypad’s “Enter” does not advance from the Latitude to Longitude field. So I was hoping the parser field might read something like the slash instead of the commas between coordinates: “-22.9068/-43.1729” as “22.9068° S, 43.1729° W”, the coordinates for Rio de Janeiro.
There’s also a request (12399) to ignore an extraneous degrees symbol and see the space as a separator.
