qtvcp issues

I forgot to add:

Can someone explain to me what the numbers in these mean.

Issuing EMC_TASK_SET_MODE -- ( +504,+24, +20, +1,)

Does your way also work correct, if no movement is involved?
What if we just send a G4 P1 or M61 Q2 or just a (MSG, Hallo world)

I had Problems with that.

In QtPyVCP I use a work around that is very similar to what Norbert described to reset the mode after an MDI command. It seems to work well. Here is the code if it might be helpful:
github.com/kcjengr/qtpyvcp/blob/master/q...hine_actions.py#L131

I will have to check.

It should work if the command was sent by one of the push buttons that sets a flag,
and if the task_ mode is 3 (mdi),
and if the inpos (in position) status is True.

I would think that all of those would be valid under the conditions you describe. But I will check to be sure.

I forgot to mention in my earlier posts that In the handler that I have this commented out.

# from qtvcp.widgets.gcode_editor import GcodeEditor as GCODE

Ok great, every bit of information is helpfull.

There is code in the ACTION library that should cover mode changes back and forth.
ACTION.ensure_mode(modes)
only changes modes if required, returns: whether the mode changed, and the old mode, so you can return it to the same mode.

No sense in reinventing the wheel. If the code doesn't quite suit what you need I am certainly willing to add code to cover common requirements.
