Hi All
Mach3 running with Smoothstepper. Pair of motors slaved for x-axis under long
gantry. . . .
While using right cursor to jog x-axis, a finger slip over to the Ins(ert)
button moves a single x-motor (skewing gantry). The Del(ete) button runs the
other x-motor.
Anybody seen this before?
The keyboard is slightly unusual (looks more laptop-like, but is packaged for
desktop with PS2 connector)
Our only "cure" for this very dangerous situation is to remove the two offending
buttons. Surely there must be a better solution?
Thanks

Hi gerald,
del and ins are jog keys for A axis
you have to change the keys using config/system hotkeys, or edit xml
file and change the number for this keys to 999 to disable it
for art and brian :
1 -is it a way to disable an hotkey without changing its code to 999 in
xml file ?
in other words, any friendly method to disable a hotkey ?
2 - is it possible to disable the hotkeys for slaved axis automatically
when configuring it ? (in future version of course)
