There is a HOME button that is under the machine menu but is only visible when your machine is on.
Could G28 and G30 buttons be added in a similar way, please?
Yes, I can ctrl+shift+d and then type the codes in but it would be awesome if you could add “repetitive” commands to the machine menu or expand the “advanced user” keyboard shortcuts to reduce steps and improve workflow:
CTRL+SHIFT+H = Home the Machine
CTRL+SHIFT+P = “Park” location G28
CTRL+SHIFT+W = “Work” location G30
CTRL+SHIFT+O = “Origin” set the 0,0
CTRL+SHIFT+J = Bring up a Jog Controller window and have H (Home), G28 (Park), G30 (Work), G28.1 (Set Park), G30.1 (Set Work), Origin (Set 0,0) and maybe some other function buttons to be able to make the “advanced user” things more accessible.
Thanks.

Yes I agree that would be very useful.
And I would not expect that to be too difficult for the programmers to incorporate into the UI.
Or even just some macro buttons that we can program ourselves with whatever commands we want

Inventables Team, any thoughts on this? Would it be something you’d consider?
Maybe a Pro feature?
P.S. If Easel Pro actually had more “advanced” settings and features available, I’d be willing to get it. Not going to happen for just more fonts, the ability to v-carve as often as I want, and a slightly better in some case toolpath generation.
I think you’re missing an opportunity for the Pro environment to be a test bed of new features. Pro gets new features and then as they get refined they become standard Easel and Pro gets the next batch of new stuff. If you would do something like that, I’d go Pro. If I know that development is happening, I will be willing to chip in the money to help. “Easy” things like function buttons / quick keys would be enough to get me on board.

Any thoughts on this inventables team? Working on something or not?
It was nice to see the ability to quickly hide and unhide the preview pane was added.
Thanks.
It is very frustrating that posts seem to just go into a black hole.
Even just a patronizing “we’ll look into it” is better than nothing.
Every time I have to run a batch of things I curse Easel for not having easily accessible buttons and macros.
(Yes I know there are other options for running/sending code, but I bought an X-carve that touts Easel)
I tire of having to cntrl + shift + D, wait for the dialog to open, then wait for the command box to finalize its position in the popup, click the box, then type G28 (or G30)
Just too many steps that could be reduced with a few buttons just like the HOME.
People rave about Inventables’ customer service, yet these forums and the customer submitted inputs that would make their products better get ignored constantly.
Hi there! Thanks for your message. Posts definitely don’t go ignored - the team goes through them. We are also working on a better way for people to submit new ideas and requests they’d like for Easel which we’ll let the forum know about as soon as we have that ready!
This forum isn’t for customer service, though, so if you ever need something immediately, you can reach out to our Customer Success team here!
They’ve added a separate button to access a jog menu, however, it’s no different than having to click the Carve button, just another button with the same ability just different look.
When a project ends, you still have to click ‘yes’ it finished, then click another button to enable jogging; it used to be the ‘Carve’ button, now it’s just another button with arrows. Nothing’s changed except the ‘look/design’. Instead of the “It finished, does it look okay?” Give me a window with an immediate ability to jog the carriage without having to click anything.
