By moving the Toolchange gcode field to under each individual extruder instead of under the Printer tab would allow "canned macros" per tool. Such as custom tool locations or servo commands which are specific to the tool and not universal throughout the printer.

i.e. A toggling dual extruder which uses a hobby servo requires a different command when set to T0 as it does on T1 so a universal command does not work.

edit: sidenote, it could be added as another field instead of moving it so that the universal toolchange gcode is still in place

Use conditional gcode if you need differentiate gcode. Example for mixing extruder here.

; !!! [next retraction] is allways zero?
T[next_extruder] ; filament
{if [previous_extruder] == 1}M109 R255 ; ABS 255
G1 E7 F3000 ; UN-Retract
{if [previous_extruder] == 0}M109 R220 ; PETG 220
; cleaning gcode here
{if [layer_num] == 1 }G1 E-7 F3000 ; Retract - [layer_num] - do not correct this bug, please

(it is a part of complicated gcode only)
