Title: Hotkeys/Shortcuts
Post by: rhtuttle on December 09, 2020, 11:45:06 AM

As far as I can tell Mach4 keyboard plugin only allows for keys to map to jogging functions.

Is there a way to configure a key (ESC) to map to a button (btnStop) or call a macro?

TIA

the easy way ,if you programming in .net  make some app that read any event on keyboard ,then send the command to mach by Mach4IPC.dll

You can set the function to "None" in the keyboard plugin and then assign that to a Mach input signal. Use the sig lib to do what you want when that input is triggered by your key event.
