Set angle with touch plates but manually move each time

I know there is an automated probing routine to set the angle with a touch plate but is there a way to make it pause and ask you to click an ok for next step button so you get enough time to manually move the probe to the second location to be probed? So I'd put it on the bottom left corner, touch off, then have it move over either a set distance or manually jog it over on the x to where the second corner is/bottom right of a workpiece and then you click ok and it then moves in and touches off, working out the angle it's off by?
Thanks.

You can change the probe speed so you have a heap of time to setup.

There's a button called "Pause before probe".

Thanks. is there an indepth guide that explains all the probing options on the newest version of uccnc? (The grey and blue screen one, I downloaded the latest beta or whatever it was.)
I'd also love to know if I can make a probe that I can tell it to probe bottom left corner (I'd manually move it near and tell it move y+ till it hits probe or max distance) then move back say 20mm, move x right a distance I can set in a text box, then pop up an onscreen "Ready for second probe move?) and hit ok, then it probes y+ to the set distance. That way I have infinite amount of time to move the probe to the second location.
