I have an old Shuttle mini desktop (7 yo) that I set up next to the controller. Add $123 for a 23" dell monitor, and I can do anything I want that requires desktop support without messing around with the controller.
back OT, more keyboard shortcuts
-ability to define dedicated keys for step vs continuous jogging. Even ALT + arrows would work
-key for cycle start (annoying to have to take my hand off the keyboard to grab the mouse in single block mode or after using feedhold). Probably want to like an ALT+SPACE or something so you don't activate by accident :O
If more keys already exist (aka Linuxcnc), then DOCUMENT them in the manual! Shouldn't be an easter-egg sort of thing.
I have a very nice fully customizeable Cherry SPOS R&C keyboard that I was setting up for Mach3. Separate continuous vs step jogging control clusters. Doesn't do me much good in PP with only 7 shortcut keys.
