This is a command I hadn't noted before Seb, so I tried it on my mill just now from an ssh -Y session. No motor power enabled. F9 toggles between stopped and the equ of a click on the clockwise button. But no speed shows as that first push rarely gets me more than a small fraction of a turn since that is the equ of an S 1 mdi command, not enough to overcome friction. Or to show on my dummied up speed slider display. I can see where F9, toggling the S setting on and off could be handy. But like everyone else has noted, its a safety bypasser. So I would leave it the way it currently does it. There is however, room enough for another button below the existing ones on the left panel, that might be capable of that. But I'm not convinced the button should be equ the F9 function. Curreently it is safe, at least until I start clicking on the +button.
