    Should I be able to jog while in the Motor Tuning screen?

    Seems like I've read that the motors can be jogged while in the Motor Tuning screen to ease the velocity and acceleration adjustments. However, I spent some time last night monkeying with my setup and I am unable to make the motors move while the motor tuning screen is open.

    It's not a huge deal, just curious if I'm doing something wrong.

    Doesn't work. None of my arrow keys do anything until I close the Motor Tuning window.

    Tried all four arrow keys and PageUp/PageDn. No dice.

    Could it be because I've remapped the jog keys? They're still on the arrow keys, but I changed the X & Y axes to match the orientation of my machine. Wonder if Mach doesn't look for re-mapped keys when the window's open?

    I can't either. I always end up opening an closing the Motor Tuning window a few hundred times before everything is done.

    I know it works in EMC2 though...

    Not really sure, but I know it does work on mine.

    That's a strange one for me too, sometimes it works and sometimes it does not, I have often wondered why?

    if anyone has some insite on this I would be very interested in knowing, becuase it's really nice when it works

    Mine does not work either and I have Mach's standard key mapping for the mill. This would have helped out a lot while tuning this past weekend.
