remap 'esc' key on right side of keyboard

Is there a way ?

 

sure there is...open your acad.mnu and go to the last section...the ***Accelerators section. Change the part in the brackets to the key you want to press for ESC

Code:

["F12"]^C

 

Well, I have one assigned using ^c^C. But, it is different than the 'esc'

 

^C is what the esc. key does...^C^C therefore would be different from a standard esc. key

 

^C is what the esc. key does...^C^C therefore would be different from a

Not exactly. The character sequence ^C in a menu macro sends an ESC. It
would be more accurate to say that ESC is what the ^C code does.

Menu macros commonly use a double ESC in the form ^C^C because that's
necessary to get all the way out of a dimensioning subcommand and back to
the command prompt. The only difference from the user's point of view is
that the double ESC will always work, and might occasionally save an extra
keystroke.

 

Tomato...Toma-to...He said he had a button that did ^C^C, but that it was different from the 'esc' key...I was just trying to get across that the only difference was an extra 'esc', so to speak.

As far as the menu macros, I prefer ^C^C^C...you can get pretty far down in a command nowadays...

 

Just try a pulldown menu, can you use ^c^c^c key to cancel the pulldown display ? Anyway, anybody have tried to remap a key ?

 

Remapping keys can be accomplished via the old dos version of "ansi.sys" in
the "autoexec.bat".

display ? Anyway, anybody have tried to remap a key ?

 

Hummm..... it's been a long time (dos days) since I use ansi.sys. Use it in config.sys, isn't it. Now with Win2000, wonder how can I load this in autoexec.bat. Well, I'll give it a trial. Thanks Alan.

Thanks again for the info.
