Hi Dave,
Yes this is the place and that's a great idea. It's called ballistic tuning. I think it ultimately became the feature that makes the RIT dial a rapid tuning dial. Check out the 2009 e-mail from Wayne that I pasted below. Maybe Wayne will update his earlier comment.

Greetings!
I hope this is the place to suggest new features.
I’d love to see a variable ‘course’ tuning of the VFO based on the speed it is tuned. For example, if I’m in the CW band and want to move to SSB I’d like to simply tune quicker than usual and have the VFO switch to course tuning until I slow back down or stop. The Course/Fine button would still be used for manual override and default setting. It would save the time of pressing and holding the ‘course’ button, tuning, and then tapping that button again to go back to normal tune.
ICOM and a few other radio makers have had this feature for a long time. And honestly, it’s the ONLY feature I miss on my KX3 and K3S.
Thanks and 72/73
