Describe the feature

Sometimes it is necessary for me to move an axis with smaller increments than 1mm, for example when I want to do a manual z-axis calibration or when I just want to check seomething. This is not possible with 1mm increments, and it would be great to have the option to move in smaller increments, like 1/10 and 1/100 like in other firmwares. For this I would also like the point key in the virtual keyboard active as well. In the moment it is greyed out with the current firmware.

Expected functionality

When in axis movements, I would expect e new window, optimal with graphical buttons for touch control and three buttons for the increments (1mm, 1/10mm, 1/100mm). If you want to know what I mean, have a look at the Repetierhost firmware, where you can move all axes in one screen via graphical interface. Also I never know whether the axis movement is active or not. That leads to axis movement, when I just want to return from the menu and to movements in the menu, when I want to move the axis. With a new window that would be easier, and with virtual buttons on the screen for moving the axis that would be really great.
