I have to agree. There are so many times where this is useful or even 
vital for a particular job. I understand the difficulties involved in 
stopping halfway through a move but would it be possible to have an 
option to stop at the end of the current move (or the end of the 
lookahead queue) then allow jogging? All emc has to do then is record 
the current position. Once you have finished jogging emc can move back 
to the recorded position and carry on. The same would apply for a tool 
change.
