Keyboard shortcuts for jog commands?

[hindocarina]

I'd like to be able to set Z0 without touching the mouse. This way one hand could hold the feeler strip while the other hand cycles through the jog commands:

1. the tab key would open the jog window.
2. another key would set the jog mode to step.
3. another key would set the cycle jog step increment.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

Charlie

Hey... Charlie you answered it your self, Now that you found tab key. set your key board in front of you as I do, and set it on 1.00 or .100 .010 .001 and hit your page down or page up if you went Z- too much, I hit the key with my left hand and I'am l sliding the block at what ever height you want to set the Z at with my right hand. SIMPLE STUFF. Charlie what are you making...
