"No two key strokes for me."
I hear you - I only have two hands, and my brain is already pushing the mouse with the left, entering the numbers with the right...
The one thing I miss the most about auto-stuff is the F3 and F8 keys. F3 toggles snaps on and off. F8 toggles ortho on and off. No mouse movement, minimal dexterity. When I'm editing in a-stuff I'm wailing on those two keys almost as often as all the other combined.Wendy Lee Welton

I wrote code in 1984 to make my Sinclair 100 - so I used to be a programmer! So I can say with authority how easy it is to program Chief features! ;-)

pick
When I pick an object I use the keep hitting the TAB KEY until I find the object. It was one of Dan's suggestions and saves much time. I used to sit there and pick pick pick like and idoit.
