After reading it a bit more closely, I think the current QtDragon documentation regarding Bridge_HAL is clear. It would only be helpful to add an example of the use of Oword subroutines to the [MDI_COMMAND_LIST] section, so it's understood that in addition to macros like G0 Z25;X0 Y0;Z0, subroutines can also be used.
Something I'd like to see, though I'm not sure if it's possible, is that AXIS has some functions that are executed through Key Bindings, which are very restricted in QtDragon. For example, in my case, I designed a control panel with a keyboard and external buttons. AXIS has the function to clear the plot, and if there's an error, a window appears on the screen indicating it. In AXIS, you can simulate closing this window with an external button, but in QtDragon, you can only close it using the mouse or the touchscreen. The same applies to deleting the plot; in QtDragon, you can only delete it by clicking the button.

I just added the ability to clear the display and shutdown the screen with HAL pins to hal_bridge.
It's a start.

ok now hal_bridge has ok/cancel buttons that will close the notify error messages (if showing) or if a dialog is showing, enter ok / cancel or close.
Also the shutdown dialog can be set to have a countdown timer to automatically close the screen without clicking it.
Docs have been updated.
let me know how the ok/cancel pins work for you.
