It could be helpful to define a custom menu and add keybindings
to quickly switch between favorite grid sizes, for example:

{"My Grids" m=g
  {"0.01 mm" checked=gridsize,0.01mm SetUnits(mm)
SetValue(Grid,0.01mm) a={"" "Alt<Key>z"}}
  {"0.05 mm" checked=gridsize,0.05mm SetUnits(mm)
SetValue(Grid,0.05mm) a={"" "Alt<Key>x"}}
  {"0.5 mm"  checked=gridsize,0.5mm  SetUnits(mm) SetValue(Grid,0.5mm)
 a={"" "Alt<Key>c"}}
  {"1 mm"    checked=gridsize,1mm    SetUnits(mm) SetValue(Grid,1mm)
 a={"" "Alt<Key>v"}}
}

Dmitry.
