One more item to consider.  If any of the controls are pressed when in the locked mode activate the rumble.

I have used the left joy for x and y and right for z on my  mill.  I question whether holding down the right JS and moving it would jump back to continuous as you released it.  Would have to try and see how that worked. I would rather be in constant mode unless I held one of the triggers for continuous.  Just me.

I guess it would be useful to have others weigh in.  In Lee's old Mach3 plugin it was always an issue whether you were in continuous or incremental mode if you used the same buttons/joystick.  The incremental is the most useful for me.  I will use it as is, nice piece of work.

Easy and not complex....hmm.  Oh, that's easy (easy for me to say >:D)

I would envision adding 3 mode radio buttons to you key selection dialog, Continuous Jog, incremental Jog and Mouse Mode.
now each key has a table of 3 actions that can be stored depending on which radio button is active.  In your code when a key is active you check to see if mouse mode is active else if incremental else continuous. 

With regards to incremental jog, when a jog key is pressed a state is set and action taken until that key value goes back to 0 when the state is reset while set the action is not repeated.

Just a suggestion,

Had a few minutes to play around with this on my mill.  Super useful! Thank you!

ok, you asked.... and we will respond  ;)

Is there a way to toggle between step and continuous jogging with the joysticks?
Can you cycle through the jog increments?

What do the jog/MPG# and MPG# do?
The mouse control is cool but can you set it up so that if mouse is enabled the joysticks move the mouse and when not they have other function?

Brian,  I thought you were onto the problem with removing Daz's plugin.  Deleted those files as well as pokeys and pmdx.  No luck.  Rebooted and fired up M4.  Same result

Thanks for trying

Installed latest Mach4 version on my development computer.  Plugged the xbox controller in.  It works.  downloaded the 2 files and put them in the plugins directory.  No Joy.  Rebooted and loaded Mach4. Still no joy.  Don't know what else to try.  Win10 HP envy x360. Pokey57cnc.

Ok, thanks. I'll try re-downloading and installing again.  Then move to the newer build if that doesn't work.

What Mach4 build are you using?
Anything else besides putting the 2 files in the plugins directory?
