I run the lathe side with a touch screen. Its was frustrating that I could not just touch the screen and drag the view to put it where I want it. I knew in the full version of LinuxCNC this is configurable but in PathPilot they removed the ability to do so. Well I went ahead and put it back in. :) This should work for both mill and lathe sides. File is for version 1.9.13 and is not tested on any other version.

Unpack the file...

The file "gremlin.py" goes in ~/v1.9.13/lib/python

Options for button config are...

0 = default: left rotate, middle move, right zoom
1 = left zoom, middle move, right rotate
2 = left move, middle rotate, right zoom
3 = left zoom, middle rotate, right move
4 = left move, middle zoom, right rotate
5 = left rotate, middle zoom, right move
6 = left move, middle zoom, right zoom (no rotate - for 2D plasma machines or lathes)


Setting is on line 166. "self.mouse_btn_mode = 2"

Just change the number to the config you want and save the changes to the file.

Hope this helps.
