I have learned much about Mach3 from this forum. I converted a South Bend lathe to cnc and it has been working resonably well, (except for some occasional lockups). Recently, my left z- jog (slow jog only) stopped working from the keyboard. The confusing thing is that it still works from the flyout menu and fast jog (shift + left arrow) still works. This is rather confusing and makes setup frustrating to switch between using the mouse and keyboard to get set up. Any thoughts?

Have you tried another key board? If so, post a screen shot of your MPG flyout.

I don't think it's the keyboard because it works fine on a rapid jog (shift + left arrow) or when editing in notepad, just the slow jog is not functioning.

Attach your xml and I will see if I can find a problem.

My xml attached, I noticed that the value for ListKey is the same as AxisKeys5. Might that be causing a conflict? I also attached a screenshot with the jog flyout open. Again, slow jog for both x directions and z+ works fine, as well as fast jog for all four directions, just no slow jog for z-.
Thanks.

Change the "Code List" to 999, see if that fixes it.

Not sure how to put 999 in that field, however, if I change it to anything else the jog keys all work now. I thought that field only displayed the keyboard scan code and that you could not manually enter data into it.
Thanks again, problem solved.

You can change it with the editor, available on the forum.
