Stupid F1 Key...

[BrenBren]

trl + Insert sounds okay, but I normally just use the standard windows key ombinations to ut and paste to and from the lipboard, so this would be a odd, abliet reatie, way to hange it up a bit...

I may try it out just to see if I notie any issues that arise from this new way of omputing. Hek, I may even start using it eerywhere if it works out okay!

SPILK... it took me a minute; I actually thought you were a really poor typist

Okay, on someone's advice, I physically removed the F1 key from my keyboard. This worked so well I removed the Insert key and the Number Lock key...

Thanks!

As far as I know I was the original Anti-F1ee to remove and suggest the lack of an F1 key on a keyboard, but you forgot to Scotch tape the hole.
GOT TO SCOTCH TAPE THE HOLE.
It just looks funnier that way... and it actually keeps some gunk out.



People used to laugh at me for that..
But it actually works..
Now they just laugh at me for totally differnet reasons...

I've put silly putty in the holes.

I always hit the F1 key when aiming for the escape key. I even made a button that has the same effect F1, but i still have the habit of hitting F1. Is there a way to customize AutoCAD or keyboard setup so that you have to press and hold another key and press F1 to activate the help files? I like the idea of Ctrl + F1.

Sounds like you guys have a lot of experience with this key removal thing.

I need a tip or a trick..............

What do you do when you have a drafter that removes the Esc key by hitting it half a dozen times when he wants to end a command? Do you replace it with the F1 key? Can I undefine the Esc key and get him a foot pedal, punching bag or something?

Maybe an anger management course?

Ok, if it is your own personal computer or a personal keyboard I have no problems with this tip, but if it is a company keyboard, please realise that you are destroying company property, don't do it, ask your IT guy to disable the buttons instead, there are ways to do this.
