Or am I just being naive? Martin Mouse and keyboard inputs are handled very differently from those on a pendant. The mouse and keyboard are part of the user interface and get to Linuxcnc through Axis or what ever UI is being used. Pendant inputs get to Linuxcnc directly through Hal. This has the advantage of being real-time and independent of userspace hangups, but has the disadvantage of not being easily tied into the UI.
