A new M-Code (propose M88) that would disable E-axis stepper only would be beneficial.
1- I am using it to release pressure before retraction (including a small dwell like M88 S50)
2- this way one could back up filament or change filament mid print without the need to start all over... The other axis enabled could keep the extruder in place and the extruder could be turned manually to pull in new filament.
