Somewhat related to the overriding limits topic, but I think different enough to start a new topic:
I am using soft limits on my machine. If I accidently click on home instead of touch-off (the buttons are right next to each other) at that point I am stuck. I can't jog back to the home position to reset it because I'm at the soft limit. While the obvious answer is to not click the wrong button, I could also see this easily happening on the keyboard as my home key is right next to the arrow keys. Is there any way to put an axis back to the pre-homed state? Either that or a soft limit override? As I write this I may have answered my own question. I could modify Axis and Tkemc to disable the keyboard home button (not a great sacrifice as far as I can see) and move the screen home button to a location that requires a more deliberate move on my part, possibly on a pull-down menu. Disabling the screen button after homing the axis once is also tempting, with maybe an option to turn it back on in one of the pull down menus. Does anyone see any great disadvantage to any of this? I not suggesting that this be a change to the official version of Axis and Tkemc, just wondering if anyone sees any problems with my idea.
