The other half of the pins that Sebastian mentioned is that the commands must be defined in the .ini file.
This <https://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.6/html/config/ini_config.html#sub:HALUI-section> will tell you that you can put things like: - *MDI_COMMAND = G53 G0 X0 Y0 Z0* - An MDI command can be executed by using halui.mdi-command-00. Increment the number for each command listed in the [HALUI] section. The first such entry will be executed when halui.mdi-command-00 is asserted. The second corresponds to -01, etc. You might then write subroutines to do such things as jog in +X, -X, +Y, -Y, etc. Those subroutines might save the direction of the last jog. You could also have a subroutine to use your touch probe. It could be "smart enough" to probe in the direction of the last jog.
