Good day again:
I am now having keyboard issues when jogging using Mach3.
The left right arrows move x axis as I assume they should left and right but the up down arrows in my opinion are not working as they should.
Up arrow moves z axis upwards towards home and the down key moves the y axis towards the y+.
How do I get the machine to move to y- using the keyboard?
I do not want to use hot-keys as I already assigned those to another function
Thanks again fro all your help

The PgUp and PgDn keys are for Z axis, Up and Down arrows are for Y axis. You can define them from Config menu then System HotKeys.
You last part confuses me a bit however, are you saying you have set the arrows to some other functions?

Thanks once again for your help on this matter:
What I meant was I installed a CNC 4 Axis USB Pendant Manual Remote Control Handle for Mach3 and have utilized hotkeys for it. I just thought keyboard was independent of those setting and they x y etc. settings I activated for the handheld unit were spares
lot to learn but a great way to spend evening
THANKS AGAIN
