qtDragon: Auto Return to Manual Mode After an MDI Command so MPG works

Hi Chris,

thanks for looking into it.
I am currently just running the normal 2.9.10 LinuxCNC. I guess it came with a version of QtDragon? I have to figure out first what's the best way to run the Master branch.
Can I check it out and use it parallel to the 2.9.10 version and be able to switch back and forth?

I recommend building a run-in-place (RIP) copy of the master branch.

For interest, I had a pendant I had hardwired in that had a Deadman switch that had to be held in before you could jog. I was using Gmocappy at the time and I got sick of changing modes which also changed the tab. I was able to wire this Deadman switch to halui.mode.teleop and life was happy as I never had to bother swapping modes again.
