Accidently disabled movement arrows

Hi all, earlier I was setting up the mill and the next thing I know is the keyboard directional arrows stopped working. I am assuming I accidently pressed the wrong button to disable it. The keyboard seems to be functioning correctly, and on the mach3 screen, I can no longer "cycle jog step" or "change jog mode" buttons.

I tried restarting the software and computer, did not help, apparently it remembered the new setting.

I can mouse over the arrow buttons on the screen and travel that way, but I really need to get my keyboard buttons going again, anyone know of the setting I am talking about?


Thanks
Keith

I dont think thats it, since "cycle jog step" or "jog mode" buttons are disabled as well. I can load a different profile and it shows all the same hotkeys setup but the "cycle jog step" and "change jog mode" buttons work in the other profile.

I don't know of any way to disable the keyboard keys. Sounds like maybe your .xml file is corrupt??

That could be. Just seems weird did it while in between runs.

On the tab window where you can normally set your "jog mode" to step. Those buttons arent lit up anymore, just like they were turned off. Also the amount to step, 1 .1 .01 .001 .0001 etc is not changeable either anymore. Pretty weird.

Question

Keith,

Do you have Shuttle Mode enabled by accident?

I thought the cont/alt thing would fix it because that sounds like something I would do accidently. But no luck
