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")),
