Porbe basic lathe: Questions about the keyboard

Well, back here with some questions. 


Just like what happened to me with the mill, in the lathe interface I've enabled keyboard jog and disabled the safety key, but it has no effect and I have to keep holding the Ctrl/Alt key. The + key for fast forward doesn't work. Is there any way to change it? 


The keys for moving the axes with the keyboard are the same as those for the mill, and it's very inconvenient because they're separated. Can I change it so it moves the same as the axis?

I've discovered that if I click inside the grid (where the ZX axis is shown), the movement buttons work, but at maximum speed, when I press the + key, it starts working as it's supposed to. When I click somewhere else, it stops working, and I have to do everything again. I assume it's due to some unknown issue.

I've also noticed that the maximum motor speeds increase at random startups without making any changes to the files.

The movement keys on the keyboard are still like a mill and aren't very comfortable to use.

not sure i follow about the speeds thing? maybe your configuration settings for default jog speed? not sure about the keys things, been completely covered up with work and haven't had any time to dig into probe basic recently. maybe ask the linuxcnc devs if they could add a keyboard assignment to the configuration? for lathe? if its such an issue im sure more folks would want a global resolution that translates into any gui running the lathe option in the ini.
