What's Changed

✨ Explain a line — rebuilt around the loaded file

  • Split view: the G-code on the left, word-by-word G-Code Definitions on the right, each scrolling independently
  • Source toggle — Loaded file | Paste code: browse the program currently loaded in ncSender, or paste any G-code and get the identical interface; pasted blocks are explained the moment you paste
  • No more 20,000-line limit — the file list renders in chunks and loads more as you scroll, so files of any length can be browsed to the end; an end ↓ link jumps straight to the last line
  • Find: search box with match counter ("1 of 171"), Enter / Shift+Enter stepping (wraps around), each match selected and explained as you step
  • Line jump: "Loaded file [255-275] of 16828 lines" — type a line number or range and press Enter to jump; stays in sync with any selection
  • Every explanation block shows its file line number, and clicking a block highlights and scrolls to that line for easy orientation in long selections
  • Terminal ??<line> explanations open in Paste mode — numbered and browsable

✨ ncSender plugin commands documented

  • New Plugin codes entries for the console commands other ncSender plugins provide, sourced from each plugin's repository:
    • $TLS — tool length setter probe cycle (Rapid Change ATC / Manual Tool Changer / Pneumatic ATC)
    • $SLOT<n> — rapid to magazine slot n (Rapid Change ATC); $SLOT1, $slot03 etc. all resolve
    • $POCKET1 — rapid to the manual tool-change pocket (Manual Tool Changer)
    • $ADB_RETRACT / $ADB_EXPAND — dust boot control (AutoDustboot)
  • $H documentation notes the tool-changer plugins' optional TLS-after-home expansion
  • ?slot, ?pocket, ?dust boot, ??$SLOT3, ??$TLS etc. all work in the Console; each entry notes which plugin must be installed

✨ G-code validity checking

  • Explanations now flag text that is not valid G-code: a per-line warning banner ("This line does not appear to be G-code" / "Parts of this line are not valid G-code") with the unrecognized fragments marked in red
  • grblHAL macro syntax (o-words, #<variables>, [expressions], IF/WHILE/EQ...) is recognized as valid, so pasted macro expansions don't false-positive

🔧 Layout

  • Per-tab sizing on wide screens: Explain a line stretches up to 1800px so long G-code lines aren't clipped; NC Manual caps at 1260px (the manual's Material-for-MkDocs layout is fully rendered at that width — anything more is dead margin); Reference keeps its two-row filter width
  • Draggable divider between the G-code pane and G-Code Definitions — grab it to rebalance (20–78%); long definition lines wrap instead of clipping, and long G-code lines ellipsize instead of stretching the pane
