It is not actually disabled, its simply not filled in. The Jog screen is actually screen 50, the tab key is just a shortcut to displaying it. A wizard writer has the option of using whatever screens he wants, I dont know of any that use screen 50.

Since most wizards are used to create Gcode, but not to run it, there really is little use for a jog screen. One exception is my CopyCat which is actually an interactive wizard that lets you jog around a part and pick up coordinates, it then generates a Gcode file to make that part. I dint implement screen 50, it never occurred to me until I read this note.
