User grid in editor: Usability suggestions #348

I make the following suggestions for the “user grid” button in the editor:

Display the current custom grid size in the tooltip
When you rightclick the button, open a window to enter a new user grid size

This would make the user grid a bit more convenient to use, it's annoying you have to backtrack all the way to the main menu each time you want to change the user grid size.

Very sensible. The options menu is a catch-all dialog, we should not bloat it with the grid size that can reasonably go into the editor.

This is partially solved in 0.9.20: The grid button gets the custom grid size printed on. But you can't right-click the button yet.
