We may consider it in the future if there is significant interest from the community (measured by the number of upvotes).

Note: The plugin the OP cites doesn't work and play well with VITE v5.3.2 - unsure if it works with earlier revisions.

This would be a helpful feature for people dealing with money inputs, since TextField doesn't appear to have support for currency.
