MDI and Keyboard

Amateur hobbyist on a 3-axis mill with RPi4 B in a single person shop.

I have just got LC 2.9.1 Gmoccapy working after using AXIS for a couple of years with just mouse and keyboard (on LC 2.8.4).
My interest is to regain MDI queuing and Run-from-Here that were lost in AXIS 2.9.1.

But, on my current system, when on-screen jogging is enabled by selecting "Keyboard Shortcuts" on the Systems Page, I cannot enter MDI commands from the keyboard.

Is it possible to setup Gmoccapy to allow both on-screen jogging and keyboard entry ?

John.

You mean you cannot enter MDI commands in that entry? (sorry the image is from an older gmoccapy version) 

Correct.

But, with the mouse, I can select a MDI command from the list above and execute it.

Spending time looking a Youtube clips and reading documentation.
This is a whole new ballgame for me.

Should I give up on the keyboard and implement a virtual system to replace it.
Still not sure of terminology yet.

Turned mill on today and now it will both jog and enter from the keyboard.
My lack of understanding may have got things wrong.

The problem tracked down to selecting Keyboard Shortcuts on the Systems Page.
If left unchecked, jog and MDI work as they should.

Keep well,
John.

The "use keyboard shortcuts" checkbox shouldn't have any impact on this.
Should work like this independent of this setting.
 

Have you tried a simulation config?

Active mill operation as shown in your graphic simulation.

Yes, got the simulator working and running example /3D-Chips.

Still struggling with odd behaviour sometimes, but I am getting there.
I seemed to trip over limits initially, but then got it going.

I am sure all of this is me !
