About 1 key vs 2 key vs combination keys:
As I've watched this thread, I've had a resistance to two key combos, because I've imagined being back to pressing "enter" all the time. But - as I think about it...
1 - that's not necessarily so.
2 - I find combinations much harder to do than two keys, even if "enter" is required. I have to stop, look, and worse - use two hands - for Ctrl-Alt whatever.
I can do my two keys and enter in acrap with my eyes closed and one hand behind my back (or better yet - one hand staying on the mouse)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! ;-)

What I am proposing is the use of the 2 letter key commands as used by Generic Cad and Visual Cad.
You tap one key, then you tap the other key, the command is executed - no Enter required, no pressing 2 or 3 keys at once.
When autocrap pillaged Generic Cad, they implemented the 2 letter shortcuts straight from Generic, BUT they couldn't do it without the Enter after the 2 letters which is not nearly as elegant.
I just find it so funny when something like Ctrl+Shift+Q is called a shortcut! Well...please...first of all you have to remember what the shortcut is for, and then you have to somehow manipulate pressing 3 keys at the same time!!!!
Pick me up off the floor - I'm laughing so much!!Glenn
