Re: rotary hand encoder wheels with detent

Hi Jerry,

Yes, there is (and I don't remember it, offhand). Also, I suspect that
most or all controller programs "chain" the keyboard interrupt, and
"steal" the jog keys before they are put into the buffer. In this case,
I don't think the typematic rate comes into play. (More thought
required here).
