I won't try to answer that as I don't have commit rights. Folks like Andy Pugh or Chris Morley who have commit rights would be the folks to ask. There are others too, but at 87, my memory isn't that fresh. Right now I need an input pin or pin per axis to axisui, that will update the "axis active" radio buttons. I have dial encoders that replace the manual cranks on my sheldon lathe, and I have signals in hal that could tickle that update, on a last moved by basis, exactly as the keyboard does now, but its not allowed, "might get out of sync." Its out of sync now the instant I enable a dial and move it one click. So no axisui input allowed. Net result is I find a touchoff point with the dial(s, there are 2 dials, x and z) and if I forget to find the mouse, and click on the axis button I was just moving, a 3 feet to the left move, look and find the mouse, move it to that teeny button and click on it, then use the mouse to do the touchoff. And the touchoff is applied to the wrong axis because that radio button display is out of synch unless I first do that selection by hand. Hit r to run the loaded routine and watch the tool dive into the spinning chuck, smashing a 10 to 40 dollar tool insert to smithereens. I need those radio buttons to be updated just as if I found the touchoff point with the keyboard when the dial is activated and I am moving the machine with them. I can position the machine in steps as small as .0001". Many times faster and more convenient than using the keyboard. I was going to file a bug, but github wants enough info before I can file the bug report that if it got in the wrong hands, could drain a $190k bank account. That, if I can help it, is not going to be facilitated by me. I frankly have had several rounds in the ring with microsoft, who owns github these days, and I trust them about the same as facebook. I don't even click on fb links peoople send me.
