Make SHIFT- and CTRL-key change the jog distance #2366

Description

Got this request from the email list:

I have gotten use to a UI feature in LightBurn where jogging distance is increased by 5x with Shift key while pressing a jog button (screen UI), and decreased by 5x when pressing Ctrl key. Is this something UGS can do ? its very convenient. 99% of the time I leave my programmed jog distance set to 1mm, and use those 2 keys to get 3 good distances of fine coordinate control. Of course still provide the normal functions of jog as UGS has now and as you enhanced above. Thanks for considering.

I vote yes on this feature. The 5x factor in Lightburn is not hard coded, rather it is a user setting value, in case you'd like to do the same.
