Independent Z-axis movement distance parameter

In my own stupidity, there have been a countless number of times that I have accidentally clicked a Z-axis button instead of the ‘Y’. In many of these cases, I had the movement distance set to a value that either caused the router to smash into the work surface or smash into my useless z-limit switch.

I suspect that I am not the only person who has experienced this…

It would be great if the Z-axis had it’s own ‘movement distance’ setting apart from the ‘X’ and ‘Y’ axis. This would prevent possible damage to the machine if the ‘Z’ is accidentally clicked when a distance for the X/Y is set to a high value.
