This is a janky way to do it, but on my Shortcuts page, I'm doing sliders at 0%, 20%, 50%, 100%, etc by mousemoving to a specific xy coordinate, then dragging to a specific xy coord.

Since they are bash scripts, you can store and retrieve the location you traveled to, which can be interpolated as the slider percentage.

Also, I've been told by the mfg that the current location of the slider isn't located anywhere, which is bollocks, but I have found that if you mousemove fast enough (which xdotool definitely can do), resetting the slider to 100%, then moving to another percentage happens so fast the machine doesn't notice.

For example, if you're at 50% and want to go to 40%, I haven't figured out how to find if the slider is at 50% or not (retrieving a previously stored value would do it, but I haven't written that code yet), BUT you can reset it to 100%, then travel to 40% so fast that the machine doesn't notice.

I now have hotkeys that adjust the overrides +/- 10% each push. I will post the code to the toolbox after some more testing.

Getting closer to mouse free every day, (;-) TP

Axis GUI in LinuxCNC has +-10% buttons out of the box, numbers from ~ to 0 , yes tilde is 0% so the machine will not move 1=10%, 2=20% ..... 0=100%.
Can any of you try that on PathPilot and report back, please.

It does not work Tommy, Tormach has very few keyboard shortcuts mapped in PathPilot.

I am close to mouse-free:

Looks sort of janky, but you can set this up however you want and write shortcuts for whatever you want. I cannot and will not use my machine without my shortcuts. 100%, total game changer.
