Hello there,

is there a way to change the key mapping in gscreen?
The left arrow und the right arrow are reserved in gscreen at my computer. I like jog with the right arrow = x plus and left arrow = x minus. Where can i setup that?

Hi

That is how they should work anyway.

If your quill 'moves' in the opposite direction to the arrow you are pressing, you have your scale figure with the wrong sign in front of it , or steppers wired backwards

Change the [AXIS_0] SCALE= xxxx figure in your .ini file, to either positive or negative (opposite of what it is now) and the quill should 'move' in the correct direction.

At a more basic level the stepper wiring needs looking at

I agree with ArcEye, you probably have the axis running in the wrong direction to begin with...
BUT, if you really want it that way, yes it can be changed, (but it's a little bit of work)

How current is linuxcnc, how did you get if (builbot or did you compile it) and what skin of Gscreen are you using.

Originally the keycodes were hard coded, later there was a way to rebind the keys in the handler file.
eventually I'll add a tab for user selection of some of the keycodes.

Hello again,

thanks for your answers...

i do not think that the stepper is backward wired or else ...
my configuration is working for me at the normal axis screen. it also works for me at mach3.
And finally all axis move to the correct direction if i use a g-code program <- in gscreen.
Only in manual jog mode (in gscreen) are the left and right keys reversed. i can see this reversed movement in the preview windows and at the machine.
only the x axis is wrong .

Edit:

i have installed the last live cd from linuxcnc.org and the buildbot master branch.


sorry, my for english :woohoo:

Ok I pushed a fix to master, buildbot usually takes a few hours to send the result.

also I added the keybindings to the hidden preference file .gscreen_preferences in your home folder.

By manually editing the file you could change them to any key.

Hope that helps
