How to setup my new wireless USB keypad to work with Carbide Motion

[designer_daddy (Gary W)]

Please tell me how to setup my new USB wireless keypad to work with Carbide Motion on my Macbook Air.
I want to use it to control the positioning of the cutter/router via Carbide Motion.
Is it difficult to customize and setup short cut keys?

Thanks, G

Hi Gary,

The shortcut map for Carbide Motion is here:

Keyboard Shortcut Cheat sheet for Carbide Create and Motion

Hope this helps! [Carbide3D_create_motion_keyboard_shortcuts_CM5_CC6] Updated version for Carbide Motion 5 and Carbide Create 6 (updated for 627): Carbide3D_create_motion_keyboard_shortcuts_CM5_CC6.pdf (665.0 KB) For folks who only use Carbide Create or Motion: Carbide3D_create_motion_keyboard_shortcuts_CM5.pdf (661.1 KB) Carbide3D_create_motion_keyboard_shortcuts_CC6.pdf (573.3 KB) and Carbide Create build 727 adds a number of keyboard shortcuts, so warrants its own chart: [Carbide3D_…

So some of those shortcuts should work out of the box with that keypad, and I guess you can use the reprogrammability feature of those F13-F19 keys to map any missing one.

Thank you Julien, I’ll try it!
Just not sure about setting up the F buttons.

Just not sure about setting up the F buttons.

The Mac users here should be able to tell you, but as far as I understand it requires some third party software to remap the F13 through F19 keys to do something specific. Google says (I was curious…) that apps like BetterTouchTool, Keyboard Maestro, and Alfred are a few examples.
