    Default Reset ootb F4 to match F3

    Struggling here...

    I frequently fat finger the F4 key when trying to toggle my running snaps with F3. We don't work in 3D, and have no need for the 3D snaps.

    Thought it would be pretty easy to reset the F4 key, and it was. I simply copied the factory F3 macro to a new command and assigned it to the F4 key. Great. 'cept the F4 version clutters my command line

    F3 Returns:

    Command: <Osnap on>
    Command: <Osnap off>

    F4 Returns:
    Enter new value for OSMODE <16511>:
    Command:
    Enter new value for OSMODE <127>:
    Command:

    Any ideas?

    I got the key doing what it's supposed to, just the output on the command line is different for some reason.... Might just be some autocad magic that can't be duplicated!

    Where did you find the Macro for F3 you used for F4? ^O has been the standard macro since I started with AutoCAD r12 back in 1994. Since switching to Windows standards the keyboard shortcut has been Ctrl+L, but ^O is still the macro.

    Copied it from the temporary override keyboard shortcut for F3 in the CUI.

    Code:
    ^P'_.osmode $M=$(if,$(and,$(getvar,osmode),16384),$(-,$(getvar,osmode),16384),$(+,$(getvar,osmode),16384))
    I'll try the simpler ^O and report back

    ^O is for ortho mode...

    Command: <Ortho on>
    Command: <Ortho off>

    Perfect, that did it! F3 and F4 now behave identically. Thank you

    Guess next time I'll get into my books (Still have an R13 textbook even!) instead of relying on google!
