Jog keys for A axis

If Aciera agrees, I can create a Pull Request.

However, it is necessary to define which key letters are to be used.
This must be approved by Norbert.

It will be necessary to test how this change will affect the 3 axis configuration.

I would also like this improvement.
For at least five (5) axis please but all six will be better.
 

To Mariusl:What keys do you suggest?
Home => +A
End => -A
???? => +B
???? => -B
???? => +C
???? => -C

Here are the already occupied keys:

Hallo,

Keyboard shortcuts are IMHO dangerous and will only be used on hobby machines. I use a handmade hand MPG for that. But implementing more keys will not lead to a more or less dangerous behavior.

So implementing more keys is not the case. We should try to maintain the behavior equally on every GUI, so I suggest to use the same keys as on AXIS GUI.

I used Home and End for the A axis on a regular 4 axis machine and then I used Home and End for B axis and "[" and "]" for C axis on a five axis machine.
I think Norbert's suggestion of looking at the keys in Axis is probably the right way.

I have more machines in factories using keyboard only than MPG. MPG's are not desired on routers by most users.

How do you jog with an MPG in joint mode? I am sure you can only use keyboard.
 

I foung in AXIS only:
("[, ]", _("Jog fourth axis or joint")),
