Tool Description Display During Tool Change

[MarineCorpse]

Thanks for the awesome piece of software. I am really enjoying using it and learning the world of CNC. I am using semi-automatic tool changes with multiple different tools in one job. When my G code posts from Fusion 360, the G Code contains the tool number and a text description. Is it possible to implement where this tool description could be displayed in the main Grbl page where messagings such as probing status shows up? I am currently having to go back to the program view to ensure I am loading the correct tool. A minor inconvenience, but seems like it could streamline workflow.

It is already shown in the status line provided that there is a message in the gcode (at least with a grblHAL controller):

The message can be placed before the tool change command but it the best to have it on the same line.

Interesting. Thanks for the reply. I’ll have to dig into my post processor. My tool message shows up on the line after the M6 line.
