GUI that somewhat resembles haas or fanuc workflow.

step one for me is to figure out how to get my offsets onto a page like MDI and manual jog page instead of opening a whole different window. on linuxcnc I end up G10L10Pxx my tools from mdi because the extra window is annoying to me. It sounds like this is possible but Im having a hard time finding the right search term to get a how-to or starting point. Also is there a way I can add a "common" offset? It looks like "external offset" could be handy here. sometimes its nice to measure in process and adjust a few 0.001" here or there while running.

Im guessing your talking about axis? I havent found a way to embed the tooltable

but Im starting to remember that I already did this before....

5.5 years later....looks a little better

you still need a mouse though

Is the Fanuc style of Gcodes display really better then linuxcnc's?

Here is both styles:
 

The modal/active gcodes personally I find them to be more/less the same. I dont really find it any more readable than linuxcnc. They are both just a jumble of g and m codes with F S H T at the end. I just takes more space with coloums instead of rows

Not in my opinion.

There are quite a few characteristics with Fanuc (and other commercial offerings) which are user-unfriendly compared to LCNC.  The gcode display is a good example of that.

Another one I hate is when my Fanuc 21TB removes the tool offset when I switch from MDI to jogging and then to some other mode.
