Make grid dropdown list configurable

[eelik]

The list of grid pitch values in Grid dropdown/menu is quite long. I very seldom use more than maybe 6 values and finding those values in the list is tedious. It would help if the list were configurable. There could be a list of checkboxes and values in a configuration dialog. Only the checked values would be visible in the list. That would also make possible to add more values to the hardcoded list, like 0.02mm and 2mm which now aren't there (although there is 0.2mm). Also 0.001mm (the minimum) could be there.

On second thought, why not let the users define their own values there, even unrestricted custom grids?

I think we have a wishlist item for custom grids, but I can't find it.

[eelik (eelik)]

I can't find any similar wish, either. I did a search with only "grid".

I would like to see https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1797570 accepted (move grid settings to Preferences dialog). This one could be looked at after that.

See duplicate for other wishlist enhancements:
* Use separator between imperial/metric groups
* Remove the word "Grid:" from each entry
