Short coords format
Completed
Now, there is three lat/lon format in Locus. But first format - "14,94323°" is actually "W 14,94323°".
Please, rename it to "W 14,94323°" and add shorter "IT" format - negative numbers for south and west, without dergee sign: "18.43702,-12.20382".
For example, Google Maps show coords in this format:

Benefit - short, easy to copy (easy to select by mouse on or finger - one or zero space), no "not-on-keyboard" degree symbol. Just two regular numbers. When I send coords to someone, I always reformat them to this.
Now this format is everywhere.
