I was thinking of using 'forward' together with griding so 'forward' would mean move one grid space, not one pixel.
I like this idea but not its connection with "snap to grid" option (this is related to layout not co-ords). Pixels are implicitly defined by DisplayScreen geometry and Mouse co-ordinates both of which are related to physical dimensions. Projects will be distorted when viewed in a web-browser on screens with different aspect ratios.
In "Basic" category, turn-by and heading use abstract units (angles) while forward-by uses physical units. Grid units will make all numbers absract (i.e. pure magnitude). The default grid can be tweaked to compensate for screen aspect ratios.
