Jog While Paused?

Looks like there was some interest in bringing this into the project not too long ago: forum.linuxcnc.org/38-general-linuxcnc-q...sed-back-into-master

While it's not exactly jogging, PlasmaC does something similar. While paused, the user can click "change consumables" and the torch will head to a predetermined location for the user to swap out cutting consumables. PlasmaC does this by defining the specific location in the .ini file, and then sending the torch there using eoffset counts (my low level understanding anyways). When the consumables are changed, you press either change consumables again, or resume, and it returns to the paused location, and takes off again. Bob's your uncle.

It also allows "cut recovery" which allows the torch to be moved around during paused motion so that you can pierce in a known scrap piece of the cut material. From there it will head to the paused location, and continue the cut... saving the user scrapping an entire piece of material sometimes. At any rate, it proves that motion while paused is possible currently. Though it is not strictly "jogging" I don't see major reason why it couldn't be with some tweaking.

At any rate, there's a few ways to skin this particular cat. Just wanted to give you some existing options I knew about in the event the whole branch isnt ever brought to master.

PlasmaC has jog while paused, at least the Master/2.9 as you can pause the machine at any time and move backwards or forwards AND adjust the speed of those moves.
Should also be in 2.8 but i never checked.
I am on the phone so i can not check, but if you have the time, download the official Debian Buster ISO, write it to a USB and boot the PC with it, then start the PlasmaC and check.
