Map Osnap toggle (F3 to Alt + F8

I'm trying to Map the Osnap Toggle "F3" to "Alt + F8". I know that (setvar
"osmode" (boole 6 (getvar "osmode") 16384)) will do it. But I can't figure
out how to map it to Alt + F8. I want to leave F3 as the Osnap toggle also
if possible.

The reason I want to do this is that I have a button on my trackball set to
F8. If I can map the Osnap toggle to Alt+F8 I can control both the Ortho
toggle and the Osnap toggle from my trackball.

TIA

Accelerators section of menu?

 

Open the ACAD.MNS, go to the Accelerators section (bottom of the file) and highlight the [ALT+"F8] line and paste the following over it...

Code:

[ALT+"F8"](setvar "osmode" (boole 6 (getvar "osmode") 16384));

 

that is slick...adding duel functionality to buttons like that, very nice
