Some tips for better gmoccapy was created by MichalHK
Hello,

at last two years Im installing gmoccapy at about 3 machines and every time I must doing same "upgrade/changes".

1) F4 shortcut for AUTO mode.
Default gmoccapy for switching mode is F3 = rapid F5 = MDI
Please add F4 for AUTO mode. Its logical. Im doing this at every machine they Im installing.
Its few simple rows of code.

2) Cyclus timer - every industrial cnc machine controller like Fanuc, Seimens, Heidenhain  atc.... have cyclus timer.
If I first run gmoccapy I cant believe that timer missing. Solution is here forum.linuxcnc.org/gmoccapy/40709-gmocappy-clock
So why its not included in 2.9.0PRE for example?

3)Spindle load - same as point 2. Nice spindle load bar exists there  forum.linuxcnc.org/gmoccapy/45856-spindl...-in-gmoccapy?start=0 So why is not defaultly installed?

I can help, no problem, I can push configurations into github.
Thanks MichalHK

1. I have no idea, i use Axis mostly.
2. It is nice to have.
3. Most do not have any feedback for load to show there, so having a bar that does nothing is just clutter.
But it would be nice to be able to configure in Settings, whoever needs it would enable it.

3. I use it. A lot of drivers (Spindle + axis) have Modbus RS485. I would like to have "load feedback" for axis as well.
4. I think it would help a lot if at least the manual mentioned how to add "Load feedback" and "Cyclus timer" to Gmoccapy, so that everyone doesn't have to develop it from scratch.
