Touch Off default value for offset

Hi,
I have recently installed a laser pointer with an 'X' pattern on my Z axis.  This pointer is offset from the router bit on the X axis by about 3" and from the Y axis by about 2".  When I touch off on an axis, I have to manually enter these values to 4 decimal places (something like -2.9693).  This works fine but I'd rather not enter these values each time I touch off on the X and Y axis.

Has anyone modified the axis.py script to allow for a default value to be specified in the .ini file so the offsets don't have to be typed in when touching off to the workpiece?

Thanks in advance.
 

The machine is a homebuilt 3 axis gantry type.

Linuxcnc is 2.9 pre (and some long number) on Mint 19.3.

I'd really prefer not to have to give up screen real estate for a button.

Silly me, I didn't realize GladeVPC could run as a tab in axis. Looks like some piddling is in order. I need to get something working for a touchplate also so maybe I can integrate that.

This is how I moved to the XY laser position using a gmocappy macro. Should work for you.

Jog to where you want to set 0,0 by the laser and press a button. Easy

I think that will work for what I need rodw. Thanks.
I was not having any luck with glade.

Just to follow up, with slight modification this works great for me from the MDI.
Thanks again.
