Cncjs: Enhancement Request, mini keyboards and milling time

[LukeBonathan]

Description

I love CNCJS, It's by far the most well designed and functional G code sender I've come across. I have been using some of the excellent macros posted here:

That said I have two enhancements I'd like to see in CNCJS. With my laptop I find it very hard to jog the machine around. I'd love to see native support for a mini keyboard similar to this?

Ideally jogging and step increment.

I'd also love to see remaining time on a mulling cycle.

you can already use a mini keyboard or keypad.

nickm324 is right, you can mouse over the icon to get the shortcuts.

You can find the estimated remaining time in the gcode widget here:

Oh boy am I embarrassed!... I've been using it for 6 months and not found either of these features.

That has made me very very happy. I will be sure to spread the word.
