Yes, that is probably my most desired feature .... I currently have
to use :setvalue(grid, 1.0mm), :setvalue(grid, 0.05mm), etc.,
frequently, especially when designing footprints.  The
up-arrow/down-arrow recall of commands is nice, but still takes
several keystrokes and requires more user effort that a dedicated
method for switching grids.

Could I map keyboard shortcuts to my most commonly-used grid
settings, like mapping a key to the command
“setvalue(grid, 0.1mm)”?

Regards,
Colin
