Default add figures to existing figures in excel

I suggest that future versions of Excel somehow make it easier to add a
figure being entered to an existing figure already in a cell.
If you have a figure in a cell, and you want to add another figure to it,
you have to edit the cell, press "home", insert an equals sign, press "end"
then enter your next figure. This is torture and must add up to millions of
unnecessary keystrokes every year.
I suggest that, if you already have a figure in a cell, then typing another
number and pressing say Ctrl Enter would ADD the new figure to the existing
figure.
The cell contents would show all the individual numbers that had been
entered, as opposed to just one total.
