Shortcuts not working

[Eumel 99]

I'm new to OpenPnp trying to integrate a self-made usb-keypad using existing shortcuts.

When testing the shortcuts ( User Manual · openpnp/openpnp Wiki (github.com) ) some of which didn't work or used different keys:

- z-axis up/down (nozzle) not working

- distance slider (up) not working

- c-axis different keys (left = ctrl + ,  right = ctrl + .)

Using a mouse on the jog controls works just fine.

Are you able to setup a working test that rules out your self-made keypad? I.e. a test that demonstrates the keypresses you think you should be receiving, are indeed those that are received?

[Sander]

The keypad is not attached yet.

I used a keyboard that could be the problem because it has the German layout?

I will try using the shortcuts on the display keyboard with English layout.

[JW]

Good idea, rule out everything but OpenPnP first, then you'll be confident you're chasing the right problem.

[Sander]

Changing the keyboard-layout worked.

Thank you for the fast replies.

I don't have an answer for this, but I had been considering doing
something very similar. I would appreciate it if you'd keep the group
updated on your progress.

Thanks,
