But thats part of kde and that install drags in over 300 megabyte of kde for dependencies.
This jessie/armhf install is just about the minimum lightdm version, enough to make X run albeit not uber-fawncy. So in that case, do I even have a gui for looking at .diff files? I found meld and installed it, but all it could do was copy the diff over the original file. Fortunately I had sense enough to make a backup. Since I had the backup, I renamed axis to axis.py, and let patch -p1 <0001-[tab] take a whack at it. The axis.py looked good in geany, so I copied it over axis and then ran linuxcnc -l again. I cannot see anything else effected by the patch, but I CAN now edit in the mdi box using the lft-rt-arrow keys to position the curser to where I want to edit. IOW, it works. Merge it please. Now if I can find whats resetting the key repeat interval from 200 ms and usable, back to 2ms the next morning without a reboot, that would be one more step to bliss. Since the wifi also feeds noise into the input circuit, and that path bypasses the usb2 pinhole, along with some I assume is from wlan0, which does go tru the pinhole, I added a couple turn off commands to /boot/config.txt to turn off bluetooth and wlan0, after giving up on finding the keyboard or mouse with the bluetoothctl utility. The keyboard and mouse seem to be considerably less subject to missed events. That took a cold reboot, and the keyboard was so bad it took me about 10 minutes worth of pecking to get the word "reboot" in the buffer, and to actually do it, keyboard except for the repeat speed, seems to be 100% now.
