I don't have a num pad on my keyboard, but I can still get unwanted machine jogging if I use the arrow keys, depending on which part of the window I've currently selected. I didn't have unwanted machine movement using 2.8, so what changed in 2.9 and how can it be disabled?
Ok, what if you run that script to disable keys when starting LinuxCNC and running the other script to enable the keys when LinuxCNC exits?
That should also be easy to do, if no other program is used while LinuxCNC is running, so editing a gcode in a text editor will not work.
Unfortunately my skill as a machinist means frequent editing of g-code. Turning the machine off to prevent jogging when using the keyboard is a much preferable solution to having no keyboard at all.
Seems people have forgotten that how keys are used is part of the GUI. If you don't want the keyboard jogging enabled, use another GUI.
I think you guys would be right at home with QTdragon as it is touch screen only jogging. Which does annoy me a little bit becasue the controls are a bit hard to use on my small 15.6 inch monitor. so use of keyboards would be handy.
And I have yet to see people saying they tried my suggestion. It does work!
