Bad thing? Depends on the "structure" of your program and your
beliefs about operators (your users). If you feel it is not confusing
now, or in the future... OK. Personally, I don't like to mix "move"
keys with "data" keys... And I like keys to be used for ONE thing, if
possible ("soft" or "function" keys, properly used, are an
exception). More so if the "one thing" is a commonly used thing! Like
a decimal point.

Specific to your program, I still don't know if you are implementing
the increment as a list, a user-defined entry, or both?

So this will set the increment to 3 inches, or 3 degrees depending on
axis selected ?
