· Moving Nozzle During Pause & Resume
"When clicking the Pause button in Cura..."
That sounds like you are printing via the USB port.
If you are printing from the SD card then the printer "Pause" function may do what you want. On my older Ender the pause routine does park the head but it also allows the hot end to turn off. In addition, the stepper motors disable in 2 minutes and at that point the printer loses track of where the nozzle is. You can't simply auto-home and continue.
BUT only the LCD menu will allow you to have any control of what happens during an un-planned pause. It should be good enough for a quick peek before you have to hit the resume function.
If you use Pause at Height then you have more control (you can park the nozzle in the back so your view of the model is better) but the Pause code is hard coded into the Gcode at a specific layer/height.
