[GreenKeys] M15 How to disable unshift-on-space?

[drlegendre .]

Wow, so the household fuse is correct - that's just nuts! Maybe I'll pull
it and bypass with a 1A slow-blow and maybe a CIL to deal with inrush
currents. The present arrangement just isn't what I'd call proper
'protection'..

In other news, I think I've corrected the aberrant behavior. And yes, it
does seem like it's all down to that very fine clearance between the cutout
lever and the vertical extension of the SP function lever. I added a few
turns of solid metal foil tape to the little dog-leg on the end of the
cutout lever, to reduce the clearance to nearly nil.. maybe 0.002 or so.

And the USOS is gone, at least for now. Obviously I have a lot more to
learn about this mechanism, but for now, I'm stunned that such a tiny
little gap could allow the unwanted behavior. My hunch is that something
else, somewhere, is either improperly adjusted, improperly installed, or
just plain worn. Very surprising, but again, I have much to learn.

I will post a pic of the connector box in a few minutes. But for now, the
machine is behaving as I'd like... =)
