No Keyboard jog after update 2.9.3 to 2.9.4

I just tried it and it works like this.

Because of my keyboard layout (mini keyboard) is it possible to change the "+" key to the shift key?

Another question that has been on my mind for some time is: Can keyboard keys be assigned to change the different increments (5mm - 1mm - 0.5mm etc...?

The new edits will allow shift once fully tested.

As for key binding, that is inside linuxcnc, there is a blurb on it in the docs I think, but don't recall where and not sure if it would be connected to PB or not. You would be on your own there

I'll try to do some research. Thank you very much.

did you sort it out? the issue i saw with external controls being tied to the ui was a synchronization problem. the only thing i think that would work would be momentary buttons for each increment. a rotary switch such is on most mpg's could not remain synch's with the ui if changed in the ui.

I've been doing some research but I'm not sure what I'm doing.

Is there any mpg compatible with probe basic?

that is strictly determined by what you are trying to accomplish. any mpg that works with linuxcnc will work with probe basic really, but if you want to tie the increments in the ui to the mpg and have true bidirectional support, then whatever mpg you use will need to be able to change the physical state of the switch for increments.

in other words if you use an mpg with a rotary switch, its a static output based on the rotary switch position. if you change the ui increment setting there is no way to physically change the rotary switch's position so it become unsynchronized. if you use an mpg with momentary buttons for increment settings, then there is no static constant output which means it could remain synchronized regardless of where the increments are physically changed by the user..(ui buttons or mpg buttons).

personally i use very basic mpg and my increments setting in PB is pretty much always set to jog for long travel moves where don't want to ring the mpg to death.

you may be able to use a usb style mpg and tie the increments to the ui with halpins or perhaps even if the existing mpg code has provisions already simply set it up in the mpg software. but no there is no PB specific mpg.

however the caveat for using momentary buttons being that without some way to know which mpg momentary button is active you would need to remember the last setting, check the screen setting or repress the momentary button increment you desire for each move or you could crash from using a larger increment setting than you intended to use. some of the usb mpg's have a display which might show the user what the currently active increment setting is.

I understand.
Can you recommend me any USB MPG?

not personally i don't use them, i use a very basic mpg as stated above and rarely if ever change the in ui increments. my mpg increment settings are strictly set for the mpg alone and not the ui jogging which in my opinion should remain separate. ie the wheel is tied to whats on the mpg and the ui axis directional buttons are tied to the on screen increments.

if this is your first machine build and you have not actually been using cnc in production, my guess is you are over analyzing it a bit perhaps. for my use case, when my head is inside the machine with the mpg im not even looking at the screen for the most part. i am simply lining up a probing event or maybe an indicator to measure something. the only time i even revert to looking at the screen is if i am maybe doing some mpg machining for a quick surface or edge cleanup etc. my advice would be to ask yourself why its important, is it something you are creating in your head or a specific proven reason its important in your specific use case.
