Keyboard mapping gmoccapy

Is their an "easy" way to remap keyboard outputs? im using a game pad that doesnt have page up/down so i dont have z axis control.

For a gamepad you may want to have a look at the 'hal_input' component. Here is a little how to for keyboard. For a gamepad you would only need to modify the keyword in the 'loadusr' command line:

You can then connect the gamepad pins to gmoccapy pins in the POSTGUI_HALFILE:
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gui/gmoccapy.html#_jog_hal_pins

i call it a game pad, its a touch mouse pad, mouse click, mini keyboard. same thing i assume.

Totally feel you on the gamepad struggle—those missing keys can be a real pain! Remapping can be a lifesaver, though. If you're using gmoccapy, you might wanna check out the keymap file in your config. You can assign other buttons to act like Page Up/Down.
Also, some folks swear by using software like JoyToKey or Xpadder to map your gamepad buttons to keyboard keys. It gives you way more flexibility! Just make sure your gamepad is recognized as a joystick in your system settings.
Hope that helps you get your Z-axis control back in action! Happy machining!
