Display number of sides on regular polgyons, and allow numeric input

When using the regular polygon tool with the mouse wheel, it's hard to tell how many sides you're making. it would be great to show the number of sides, and allow +/- adjustments, and numeric input.
UI probably would work the same as https://plasticity.canny.io/feature-requests/p/display-number-of-isoparam-cuts-and-allow-numeric-input when it's done

Polygon : Number of sides to be displayed during creation

How many sides polygon is this?.
We need to SEE the number of sides being generated, especially when it becomes a large many sided polygon.
I dont see any way to Numerically enter the number of sides either (like is possible in radial array)

I thought I was just missing something but apparently not! It is tedious to count the faces or vertices. Especially when matching some other object size. A few sides is easy but once you get over 6 you get into shapes that aren't memorized.

HUGE upvote for this! I've been using the polygon tool a lot lately (replicating hexagonal bolts/nuts in designs), and I've started to glance longingly at other design apps for simple polygonal drawings. It seems unnecessarily frustrating to select a six-sided polygon with a scroll wheel (I'm already tabbing to change the diameter, and it would feel so natural to hit tab again and input the number of sides needed, too). Instead, I'm spending way too much time and aggravation fiddling with an over-senstive scroll wheel or two-finger gesture.
