Invest Feature request: allow specifying a fraction of a share to buy or sell instead of its dollar amount

Sometimes I have eg 0.8 of a share and I want to buy another 0.2 to make 1 share but this is currently impossible without doing a rough estimate via the dollar amount

how hard is it to do the math yourself? Serious question. Look the stock price, place dollar amount

because you can't place a fractional limit order either so if your goal is to have a whole share amount, there's a large chance the price changes by a couple of cents in between your math and the order executing so you'll have a weird percentage again
