Hi Jeff I've not used EMC since 2.4.0, so it may have been the 2.4.1 update that done it. >If you can figure out what's different between the event sequence sent >by an X-Keys module and the event sequence sent by a proper keyboard, I >can try to address this problem. >Just to be clear, you are talking about keypresses that are being >handled by axis, not keypresses that are being handled by hal_input and >halui or something of that sort, correct? Yes - the X-Keys just emulates ordinary key presses, or sequences like CTRL-Home on a single key. It simply behaves as a USB keyboard and reports key states to USB-HID. >> Why do updates ALWAYS overwrite manualtoolchange file?
