More accurate part movement #12649

-> At this moment in time, all we have in PrusaSlicer when it comes to moving parts around is world and object coordinates and the arrows. The world coordinates, while useful at times, is a bit of a hassle to use. This leaves us with the arrows, which work good but aren't the most accurate, and the object coordinates. My problem is that after you change the object coordinates they zero out.

-> Solution: something similar to what Cura has, aka a pop-up menu that appeares when you move the part and that, for as long as you don't close it, the changes remain. Like if you move the object 40mm to the left, it stays at 40mm until you close the menu. It's more convinient since, right now, in Prusa you have to write the coordinates with minus to move it back, which isn't a huge issue but it could be easier.
-> Same thing for rotation, I'd like to see a pop-up menu that allows me to see how much I rotated the object and that doesn't zero out unless I close the menu.

-> Another solution that would work the same is just leaving the coordinates in the menu on the right but not zeroing them out after changes unless the user selects a diffrent part. But this wouldn't solve the issue for rotating pieces
