'Units' dropdowns
Add 'units' dropdown to transform panel so you don't have to go to preferences to change them. This also separates the input box from the dialogue so its easier to type and tab through modifying dimensions.

You can press Command+Option+Shift+U (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+U) to cycle through all measurement units.
Also, type whatever unit in a value field to force Illustrator to recalculate the values into default units.

Thanks Lewis Tsalis. This is a great tip and resolves my issue.

I don't think it's a good idea.
I can type whatever unit in value field and AI understands it and recalculates into default units, or leave it with no unit (you don't need to type them every time). This is a huge boost.
Separating units from values will surely break it (because nowadays Adobe are very-very slack with details!) -

Command Option Shift U cycles through all units of measurements.
