 End     touch off selected axis
 <, >    decrement or increment axis speed
 c/C     select continuous jogging
 i/I     select incremental jog, and toggle through increments
 1-9,0   set feed override to 10%-90%, 0 is 100%
 @       toggle commanded/actual position display
 #       toggle absolute/relative position display
 o/O     open a program
 r/R     run an opened program
 p/P     pause an executing program

 a/A     step one line in a paused program
 b       take spindle brake off
 Alt-b   put spindle brake on
 Alt-s   start logging
