Re: [Emc-users] Keyboard shortcuts - Axis
I'm watching the table. I know the jog is working as if it were the tool but my mind seems to want to think in terms of which way the table moves. Also, the inconsistency between the XY axes and the Z axis often confuses me (i.e. the arrow keys work reversed w.r.t. the table but the page down button brings the Z axis down) and I'm apt to run the tool into the work accidentally. The work I am doing is tiny and so are the distances I'm moving (like 6mm or less most of the time) so, if I accidentally send an axis the wrong way on continuous jog thinking I'm going to send the tool away from the work, I can easily wipe out yet another 0.3mm carbide drill before the axis grinds to a halt! :-( I just think I might get on better if the axes buttons were reversed - I could always change them back if not. I've just been drilling 0.4mm holes in a couple of 1mm ball bearings - now there's a fun occupation!!! and no, I'm not aiming to shoot a Russian spy in the leg with an umbrella gun..

Re: [Emc-users] Keyboard shortcuts - Axis
Put this line in the file ~/.axisrc, with no whitespace at the beginning of the line: bind_axis(Right, Left, 0) Create the file ~/.axisrc if it doesn't exist yet.

[Emc-users] Keyboard shortcuts - Axis
Can someone please give me a heads up on how to change the keyboard shortcut assignments in Axis. At the moment I have to press the 'right' button to jog the axis to the left etc. and I'd like to change 'em around a bit. Thanks.. -- Best wishes, Ian Ian W.

Re: [Emc-users] Keyboard shortcuts - Axis
As Brian mentioned, table to the left = tool to the right. The keys match the motion from G-code, so a cursor-right keypress is the same as G-code to move in the +X direction, etc. If they don't match on your system, then I'd say someone has been playing with your keyboard mapping in X :) If keys and G-code do match but the motion is in the wrong direction, then you need to negate the INPUT_SCALE for each reversed axis in the ini file. - Steve Ian Wright wrote: Can someone please give me a heads up on how to change the keyboard shortcut assignments in Axis.
