Easel Control by Keyboard is a Chrome extension developed by HostingMax. Designed for users of the Easel software from Inventables, this extension allows for easy control of the XY and Z intervals, as well as other functions like Z up and down, through freely assignable keyboard keys.

One of the main advantages of Easel Control by Keyboard is its ability to streamline the workflow for Easel software users. While many functions and settings can be easily accessed within Easel itself, adjusting the step size of the machine to manually move the milling head has always required reaching for the mouse. This can be cumbersome and disrupt the flow of work.

With this extension, users can now control the X, Y, and Z increments, as well as other functions, using their keyboard. This eliminates the need to constantly switch between the keyboard and mouse, resulting in a more efficient and seamless experience.

It's worth noting that to fully customize the key assignments, a valid license is required. Without a license, the default key assignments will be used. A license can be purchased for 25 Euro by contacting the developer at

Overall, Easel Control by Keyboard offers a convenient solution for Easel software users who want to enhance their control and workflow. With its intuitive keyboard control and customizable key assignments, this extension provides a seamless experience for those working with the Easel software.
