# Jogging Controls

The machine can be jogged via three possible inputs:

* Clicking on the UI buttons with the mouse or touchscreen.
* Using the keyboard arrow buttons, and Pg Up/Down
* [Pendant](/docs/controller/features/pendant-support.md)

## Advanced Jogging Options

The Control screen has a number of additional Jogging related options:

* Speed: Default to Max
* Mode: Step or Continuous
* Keyboard Jogging: Enabled (blue button background) or Disabled (grey)
* Pendant Jogging: If a [Pendant ](/docs/controller/features/pendant-support.md)is configured whether moving it's jog wheel will move the machine or not

## Keyboard Jogging

If Keyboard Jogging is toggled on (blue button background) the following keys can be used to move the spindle:

* Arrow keys move X/Y
* Pg Up - Increase the Z
* Pg Down - Decrease the Z

## Continuous Jogging

When the machine is running a supported firmware (>2.0.0c) continuous jogging capability is possible. In this mode the machine will move at a constant speed (as specified by the Jog Speed option) in the direction of the button press while the button is held down. This applies to both the UI buttons and the Keyboard Input

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://carvera-community.gitbook.io/docs/controller/features/jogging-controls.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
