Fn vs standard #2

Open alkabal opened 6 years ago

alkabal commented 6 years ago

Hi

Are you sure the Fn vs standard button are not reversed ?

the footprint of my unit make me thinking that for some reason like :+1:

-Fn button is orange -standard button are orange -macro10 is blue and is the default value for this button -all macro button are blue same as macro10

And as my understanding the comon button can be dangerous (safe/home/probe/spindle if push by error, very less dangerous if this need to push Fn for use this button

Off course i'm really unsure but this is my opinion.

Maybee the best way is to add a configuration option for this ? I like to try to add this but for now it's hard to found the way myself.

Best regards

Good point! :+1: :smile:

I have never seen it that way. I was wondering why these guys were designing the keypad like that. After reading the, sadly very bad translated, manual I was pretty sure it is just a mistake. Also the buttons Feed+/Feed- and Spindle+/Spindle- I would expect in reverse order: Feed-/Feed+ and Spindle-/Spindle+.

However, I will think about inverting the Fn combos using a command line switch, but with a rather low priority (depending on time constraints).
