Before I delve into this, I wanted to see if there's a simple way to assign Feed Hold to a keyboard key. Thanks.

That worked for me in Mach 3. Not in Mach 4.

Sorry, I didn't see it was Mach4.
What about the keyboard plugin?

I don't see a Feed Hold function that I can assign to a key. I don't know if that means I need to write one or if it is somewhere that I don't see it. I see only functions for jogging.

The keyboard plugin is for inputs and feedhold is an output.
You could assign a function of none in the plugin and tie this to an input, then in your plc you can activate the feedhold when this input state is changed.

Any chance there are step by step instructions somewhere describing how to do that?

Is there a reason you put this in the PLC script instead of the Signal script?
