I think this was asked before as someone else had same issue and I can’t find the topic.  
In any event, Mach 4 would stop responding to the keyboard inputs after running a file. No Jog. I can reload Avid Screen set from the View tab and Mach 4 will run again.  
There were a setting somewhere that fixed the issue.  
Anybody?

I have seen the Keyboard Jog slider magically turn itself off on occasion. Center bottom of screen.

did you use the MDI window before that? Going into MDI will disable the keyboard jog. You can just turn in back on with slider button bottom middle of the screen.
