It would be really convenient if there was a facility for making %rf always display just a fixed number of decimal places.

OK, I know that I can do this by converting to a string using an internal write and using %rs ... but I did say convenient (and not essential!).

A good idea for %`rf, but possibly not for %rf, as what would happen during data entry? It would be unwise to respond to each keystroke in that case and forcing %co[check_on_focus_loss] for such controls would perhaps be required.

Typical usage would of course be %`10.2rf.

You already have this with %wf but without the box.

Not quite, %wf does not update as the value is changed

I'm waiting for this possibility (%12.3rf) since years... and I asked for this also here some time ago:

OK, I will wait in patience Rolling Eyes

My particular application would be helped by it being available in %`rf as Ian notes. I can see a use in %rf, but accept there are difficulties.

I remember now seeing Wilfried's earlier request.
