Users who make extensive use of coordinate entry might find the following menu enhancement very useful.
["NUMPAD5"]@x
["NUMPAD6"]<0
["NUMPAD9"]<45
["NUMPAD8"]<90
["NUMPAD7"]<135
["NUMPAD4"]<180
["NUMPAD1"]<-135
["NUMPAD2"]<-90
["NUMPAD3"]<-45
If these lines are added to the Accelerators section, the numeric keypad is modified as follows: the 5 key enters the @ symbol, and the other number keys enter the less-than symbol (<), followed by the angular value represented by its location in the keypad. For example, to draw a square 3 units on each side, enter the line and specify a start point. At the next four To Point prompts,
Press 5 on the number pad (@), enter 3, press 6 on the number pad (<)
Press 5 on the number pad, enter 3
Press 2 on the number pad (<-90)
Press 5 on the number pad, enter 3
Press 4 on the number pad (<180)
Enter c (Close).
The following table lists the special virtual keys. (These keys must be enclosed in quotation marks.)
| String | Exceptions |
| "F1" | Can be assigned a menu macro, but this is not good practice because F1 is generally associated with Help. Using a modifier with this key is acceptable. |
| "F2" | Unmodified, toggles the state of the text window |
| "F3" | Unmodified, toggles OSNAP |
| "F4" | Unmodified, toggles TABMODE |
| "F5" | Unmodified, toggles ISOPLANE |
| "F6" | Unmodified, toggles COORDS |
| "F7" | Unmodified, toggles GRIDMODE |
| "F8" | Unmodified, toggles ORTHOMODE |
| "F9" | Unmodified, toggles SNAPMODE |
| "F11" | None |
| "F12" | None |
| "INSERT" | None |
| "DELETE" | None |
| "ESCAPE" | Can be assigned a menu macro but this is not good practice because ESC is generally associated with Cancel. CTRL+ESCAPE and CTRL+SHIFT+ESCAPE cannot be assigned a menu macro; these sequences are controlled by Windows. Using the SHIFT modifier with this key is acceptable. |
| "UP" | Must be used with the CONTROL modifier. |
| "DOWN" | Must be used with the CONTROL modifier. |
| "LEFT" | Must be used with the CONTROL modifier. |
| "RIGHT" | Must be used with the CONTROL modifier. |
| "NUMPAD0" | None |
| "NUMPAD1" | None |
| "NUMPAD2" | None |
| "NUMPAD3" | None |
| "NUMPAD4" | None |
| "NUMPAD5" | None |
| "NUMPAD6" | None |
| "NUMPAD7" | None |
| "NUMPAD8" | None |
| "NUMPAD9" | None |
Note: F10 is used by Windows as an alternative to ALT and is therefore not user-configurable.
