Macro Prompts

It allows macros in Klipper to trigger dialog prompts to interact with the Firmware and will enable the user to choose between options or to close the dialog again in case it's no longer needed.

Example Filament Runout Prompt
Example: Filament runout prompt

This feature needs the [respond] module of Klipper. So please check if this is enabled in your Klipper config.

This feature has been implemented since Mainsail v2.9.0. So, double-check your Mainsail version to be safe to use this feature.

Supported Macro prompt commands:

With these command, you can build your own Macro-Prompt:

// action:prompt_begin <headline>

This is the first command to define a prompt. The <headline>-Attribute will be the headline of the prompt dialog.

This command is to add a description text in the prompt.

// action:prompt_button <label>|<gcode?>|<color?>

With this command, you can add a button in the prompt.
