    zero axis key code?

    What is the key combination for zeroing a particular axis? I am trying to program Keygrabber to zero the X-axis via a gamepad, but I don't know how to do this. I know that "Ctrl+X" will select the x axis DRO box and then you can manually enter "0" and then press enter. However, it seems like there must be a special function key or key combination within Mach for doing this. Please advise.

    They don't seem to have keyboard shortcuts on the standard screen.

    However in Screen4 you can assign keyboard strokes to any button.

    I am just now starting to learn how to work with Screen4. Until I get up to speed on this, do you know if Keygrabber can initiate the key function? I could not find this on the "special keys" tab. This way I could have my gamepad send the signal for "0+" to zero the DRO for now.
