I’d like to see more controls for the knitting field. For example, defining both the start and end needles so that I can knit an incomplete pattern repeat and fully control the placement on the needle bed.

Thanks for sharing your idea — I just need a bit more detail to understand what you mean.
eKnitter works similar to the original Brother machines:
You define a pattern area, which does not have to match your knitting area.
This means your pattern can be smaller than the needles you select, so you can already place motifs centered and knit extra needles left and right as plain background (white space). Partial repeats are already possible this way.
You can also shift a pattern via Variation → Shift pattern, but this does not crop it.
If you mean cropping a motif or cutting off the left and right edges of repeats, that is not included yet — is this what you mean?
A small example (photo, sketch, or screenshot) would really help us understand your idea.
Your second suggestion is correct. I mean cropping a motif: cutting off the left, right, or both edges, to knit an area smaller than my pattern area, or to knit .5 repeats or 1.5 repeats. I understand that I can do this outside eknitter by creating a custom png file, but it would be nice to also have that functionality inside the eknitter app.
