Enter precise numbers for Rectangle primitive. Just like the little red square for Circle.

Ideally, add "live entry" typing numbers after you Ctrl+Left Click. And if possible, enter two sides separated by a comma. That would be great for regular Blender primitives also, as currently there is no Rectangle primitive (both 3d cube and 2d plane have equal sides).

I analyzed this and it is a bit more tricky and to make it right some refactoring is needed.

You can move around vertices of primtives at at the moment. So a rectangle is after that not a rectangle anymore:-) I like to refactor the primitives system in a way, that I can deal with vertices and edges. then we can click onto an edge, a input field will come up and we can set the length. Will take some time:-)

Sounds good! Currently I start out with a square/cube and to get a "long" rectangle I snap one side to another (vertex auto-merge OFF) and move it with G + number. I saw someone else press N and adjust XY Item dimensions after creating the primitive.
