Keyboard shortcut to change jog or feed speed

I got a XENCELABS Quick Keys to use a pendant and it was super easy to program most everything, something I can’t figure out is how to map the feed or jog to the dial has anyone done something like this short of buying the premade remotes?

Yes; make signal handlers in your screen script, something like this below, copied from:

github.com

corbinstreehouse/Mach-4-Avid-CNC-Customizations/blob/main/ScreenScript.lua

-- For ZeroBrane debugging.
package.path = package.path .. ";./ZeroBraneStudio/lualibs/mobdebug/?.lua"

-- For installed profile modules support.
package.path = package.path .. ";./Profiles/AvidCNC/Modules/?.lua"
package.path = package.path .. ";./Profiles/AvidCNC/Modules/?.luac"
package.path = package.path .. ";./Profiles/AvidCNC/Modules/?.mcs"
package.path = package.path .. ";./Profiles/AvidCNC/Modules/?.mcc"
package.cpath = package.cpath .. ";./Profiles/AvidCNC/Modules/?.dll"

-- For installed global modules support.
package.path = package.path .. ";./Modules/?.lua"
package.path = package.path .. ";./Modules/?.luac"
package.path = package.path .. ";./Modules/?.mcs"
package.path = package.path .. ";./Modules/?.mcc"
package.cpath = package.cpath .. ";./Modules/?.dll"

-- PMC genearated module load code.
package.path = package.path .. ";./Pmc/?.lua"
package.path = package.path .. ";./Pmc/?.luac"

And then edit the keyboard shortcuts to call the signals.

[mc.ISIG_INPUT0] = function (state)
if (state == 1) then
SetJogIncToValue(.0001)
end
end,

[mc.ISIG_INPUT1] = function (state)
if (state == 1) then
SetJogIncToValue(.001)
end
end,

[mc.ISIG_INPUT2] = function (state)
if (state == 1) then
SetJogIncToValue(.01)
end
end,

[mc.ISIG_INPUT3] = function (state)
if (state == 1) then
SetJogIncToValue(.1)
end
end,
