Hello,
I'm using AutoCAD 2023, and when I press F10 (Polar Snap), it also activates small keyboard shortcut blocks on the ribbon. How can I make F10 activate only Polar Snap without keyboard shortcut blocks appearing?


One solution I found was to activate the MENUBAR, but it leaves the menubar and the ribbon. I'd like to keep just the ribbon, as it was originally designed.

Thanks.Smile

What is your keyboard hardware? A laptop keyboard? Or some kind of keyboard virtualization? A wireless kbd perhaps?

It looks like the F10 is mapped to some Alt+something combination. Try to disable this special functionality.

I use a laptop, but I've noticed that two other computers at my work also have the same issue. This is a recent issue that started occurring after we used a new dwt file for our projects.

So i always used the 'Shift+F10' shortcut key combo via a keyboard shorcut to do the 'Show more options' on specific files/folders i needed the old menu/options for... now today i noticed strangely that it does not work? be it with my key shortcut or just simply doing Shift+F10 on the keyboard. it gives this weird popup with the letters on the sides for some reason. just right clicking and pressing 'Show more options' works fine... but what the hell happened? i even first logged out/logged back in, no change. restarted the pc too just in case... still not change. so weird, i could swear it still worked fine yesterday
