One of the handiest things you can use in your everyday workflow is the versatile way you can approach entering numbers into MODO.
Here in this video, James Darknell explains a variety of ways that even many MODO experts are unaware of.

I particularly like the Gang Edit. 🙂
In addition to being able to edit the number fields by typing in numbers, users can gang edit all three fields simultaneously by LMB+Clicking the icon to the left of the mini-slider enabling the feature.
INDEPENDENT - The default is i 'Independent', controls are edited independently.
COPY - The first click changes the field = 'Copy', will make whatever you type into the first field, the same in the other two fields.
PROPORTIONAL - The second click changes to ∞ (infinity) 'Proportional' where value changes are applied proportionally to all like controls.
RELATIVE - The third click changes to + 'Relative', the value change is added to all like controls. For instance if you divided the first field by /2 the other two fields would recalculate dividing by two as well.
When entering numeric values, you can use keyboard equivalents as well, such as;
'Ctrl'+'Alt'+'Enter'for Copy
'Ctrl'+'Enter' for Proportional
'Alt'+'Enter' for Relative
