Also noticed that when you grab Focus on the Gcode window it sets the cursor to the end of the file. Could this be set to the start of the file ???

I remeber see something somewhere that did that. Just cannot remember where it was exactly.

I cant test the grab focus part, since I cant arrow key scroll without it wanting to jog.

but this works here, I left the grab_focus line commented out in case you need it:

ui_misc.set_current_notebook_page_by_id(self.notebook, 'notebook_main_fixed')
ui_misc.set_current_notebook_page_by_id(self.gcode_options_notebook, 'gcode_page_fixed')
#self.sourceview.grab_focus()
self.scroll_sourceview_to_mark('start')

I tried that earlier and it did not work but I will try it again. Do yo have the tenkey section on the right of the keyboard ? if so turn OFF the numlock and use thows arrow keys you can UP or page up at a time.

It does work here, but I do need the grab focus line. So this:

ui_misc.set_current_notebook_page_by_id(self.notebook, 'notebook_main_fixed')
ui_misc.set_current_notebook_page_by_id(self.gcode_options_notebook, 'gcode_page_fixed')
self.sourceview.grab_focus()
self.scroll_sourceview_to_mark('start')

Thanks for the tip on page up page down on the number pad. I would not have tried that!

HUM, whenI try that code here the cursor ends up at the bottom of the Gcode list. Still useable but you have to press and hold the KP_pageUP till it scrolls back to the top one page at a time. On large 3d files that could take a bit.

Actually the MainPage function is not as important as the File Page function. I can switch to the File page OK but I have not mastered setting the cursor on the File list yet. I guees I need to fiure out what it is actually called in Glade. Then hunt down the action code for it.

It seems it's because the cursor wasn't moved to the top.
I also added a line to select the first line, thus clearing any preview selection, or gcode window selection as well.
This seems to work all the time for me:

                ui_misc.set_current_notebook_page_by_id(self.notebook, 'notebook_main_fixed')
                ui_misc.set_current_notebook_page_by_id(self.gcode_options_notebook, 'gcode_page_fixed')
                self.sourceview.grab_focus()
                self.gremlin.set_highlight_line(1)
                self.gcodelisting_buffer.place_cursor(self.gcodelisting_buffer.get_start_iter())
                self.scroll_sourceview_to_mark('start')

OK that works here as well, Thanks ( ;-)

That is one more part of the puzzle completed
Hopefully something like that will work on the File page to set focus on the HD_select file window. Once you gain focus you can finish selecting from the keyboard. Seems Tormach removes focus on things untill it is needed then it stays focused from there on.

Question ??? Does PP have a function where it saves a past copy of the script in the event the primary fails ???.

Sometimes I get messages that are NOT in the current script BUT were in a past script. So it seems PP is trying to run a saved script ??
