Why is keyboard hotkeys option removed was created by mariusl

I just installed a new machine with Gmoccapy and I found that there are no keyboard hotkeys enabled. So I find this in the manual.

Keyboard shortcutsSome users want to jog there machine using the keyboard buttons and there are others that will never allow this. So everybody can select whether to use them or not.
Keyboard shortcuts are disabled by default.WarningIt is not recommended to use keyboard jogging, as it represents a serious risk for operator and machine.

There are many more machines running without MPG or Touch screens that make use of keyboard hot keys to jog. Why does it get removed without option to enable it?
Can anyone tell me how to get the keyboard hotkeys enabled so I can jog the machine?

In the latest release (3.4.8) there should be a checkbox 'Use keyboard shortcuts' on the 'Advanced Settings' page:

I see it was moved to there. I looked at the documentation and it showed to be elsewhere.
