With non-X SDL on an HDMI 1024x600 display, the top ~15% is unused. I suspect this is trivial but could use some hints for kivy.

the dialog could tell you it's the resolution in microns, and probably default to 5/1 instead of 1/20 (I assume that's the kind people will buy because it's inexpensive)

e.g. when you only have scales on 2 axis, blank out where the remaining lines would be

For the sync rework, there should be tabs that let you choose

• ANSI (UNC/UNF/UNEF/UNS) by name, e.g. #10-24 NC: wikipedia (although I find a table like that hard to read, listing them either by series or by pitch in a single list seems better)
• Metric standard pitches, from ISO 262: wikipedia
• Manually enter Lead (e.g. 0.100" or 2mm, accepting floats)
• Manually enter Pitch (e.g. 3 TPI)

If we can figure out a way to store "recent" selections, a short list of those would be super useful for me.

Many (all?) of the ui elements that let you pick a number (for example, any of the "num" or the current index) let you hit "ok" without putting in a number. This exits the app and leaves the gui in a weird state if you're using framebuffer.

One option for adding hardware buttons is to add a usb 10-key pad. The value dialog for any of the numbers doesn't seem to accept numbers from a keyboard.

On a typical vertical mill, you have both a Z axis (either column, or knee movement) and a quill. To know the position of the cutter, you need to add (or subtract) these values together.

I probably only need to see the combined value most of the time, and would only zero them as a combined unit.
