Usage tips

Gcode files can be dropped on the gcode list as well as opened via File > Open.

Jogging is via the cursor and <Page Up> and <Page Down> keys. Use <Shift> for faster feed rate or <Ctrl> for step jogging. grblHAL has settings for feed rate and distance to use for these jog modes. N-key rollower support is enabled meaning that all axes can be jogged simultaneously. Note that not all keyboards allows this, my laptop keyboard is limited to 2-key rollover.

Keyboard shortcuts:

Use <Space bar> for feed hold.
Use <Alt>+<R> for cycle start.
Use <Alt>+<S> for stop.

The Vectric Direct Output functionality can be used to load GCode programs into the sender when double-clicking on the file in Explorer. To do that associate the filetype with AppLaunch.exe in the installation folder. The easiest way to do that is double-clicking on a GCode file that is not associated with any program and follow this procedure:

Select Browse..., navigate to the installation folder and select AppLaunch.exe. Double-clickig the file will now open it in the sender, starting it if not already running.

Warning! Removing the association is not as easy - do not add this shortcut unless you really want this functionality.
