I have no idea what the EMC1 version of TkEMC did.  Note that it
is TkEMC, not EMC itself, that decides what do on a right-click.
EMC provides G54 and G92, and the GUIs decide which one to use.

AXIS uses a G54, which seems like a better solution to me.

Well, you could use AXIS.  Its "touch off" function works like
TkEMC's right click - it pops up a dialog, and you type in the coordinate.

TkEMC may have a convenient way to enter a G54 offset.  I don't
know.  I don't use TkEMC, and I don't work on ANY of the GUIs.
Hopefully one of the GUI experts will step in and clarify things.
