if TAB doesnt really interrupt the command, but allows the user to "pause" the command so that user can input data (pick another axis, secondary selection, [1],[2],[3] options etc)
That's pretty much the idea.
The Preview Dialog changes already make some of these changes, but I want to add a secondary selection facility and it would be nice to include the numeric button options too.
Can't really say much about the specifics since there is no code yet, and I can't even say if these changes are realistic to make.

Nice to know item (1) maybe can be built in Numeric Input window, but the direct access to Magnet via hotkey sounds me better: thefore i couldnt understand it this is possible or not.
Having access to magnets via a hotkey or an option while already in the command means reinitiating the drag sequence with different elements of the mesh being moved than were initially calculated for. This may present problems. Especially since the mouse movement tabulator needs to be carried over too.
As far as a hotkey goes, I would have to see how it ties in with whatever changes evolve.
Your requests are probably possible, but aren't where my focus lies at the moment.
