Here's one for you guys... I think it's petty cool.

Fanuc and mits offer an option called manual skip. We use it on our
machines for something called w setter and t setter. W setter let's you
call up the work offset page, manually jog into your workpiece and
depending on selected function, will capture a single point, 2 point
center, 3 point center or angular skew. This is all done by contacting and
retracting the probe from the workpiece with the mpg. T setter works the
same way with setting tools. It's a really handy function for setting up
jobs.

I know that lcnc has an alarm that pops up if you contact your probe in a
manual move, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make manual skip a
thing. Maybe a custom component or possibly a change in source code, if I
knew, I'd be working on developing it by now... I'm trying, though. I'm
just getting into creating object classes in c++ 🥴

Any ideas of how to implement such a thing? Basically just need a check box
option to have g38.2 active in manual mode and know which direction is
being moved (x y z).
