Features should keep previously used dimensions

Like Solidworks, a powerful feature for workflow would be to have a feature remember the previous value. For instance I'm trying to make a keyboard and after extruding all the keys I want to make the holes for them to fit into. On solidworks I would either go through each sketch and offset it, which is easy as the first time I input the clearance value it remembers for the next time so I just click and press enter a few times in a row. Another option would be to cut extrude the existing sketch and then do a thin feature to gain the clearance. At the moment when offsetting more than one face/sketch I have to click the face, then click away, then type the number in, then press enter. This is far too many clicks for efficient use.

You may be able to do all the offsets in one feature, rather than doing each offset as an individual feature. If you post the URL of your document here we can take a look and see if there are more efficient workflows.
