I get confused by the existing editor. (I always seem to end up with a dozen orphan editors hiding in the background under Axis).

I would suggest an "Apply" button and a "Quit"

Is there something else you might do after "applying" before quitting?

And yes the TCL editor is confusing to me with the button labels.

Save & Close perhaps... but I understand where your coming from as it sounds like it might quit the CNC app as well as the editor. So maybe

Save Changes and close Editor |Yes| the button being the yes part or make it editable. In any case I can only see two actions needed, perhaps three actions... save and close the editor, revert changes, cancel the edit... nothing else makes sense to me.

Oh, by embedded like in a tab? Then unsaved changes warning, a revert button and a save button is all that I can see you needing.

John

Yep I forgot add and delete. Can you poll linuxcnc when a tab is selected? I never could figure out what triggers signals were associated with selecting a tab.
