Mapkeys

[mmead1014]

Question One:
keyboard sequences will initiate mapkeys as we all know. Such as hitting "ae" may zoom extents while in a drawing. I want to set up a mapkey while a text box is open in a drawing. The problem is during a text box operation the letter keys are recognized as letters not as mapkeys. Can this mapkey even be accomplished?

Question 2:
What if I want to have a map key start with the "Ctrl", "shift", or "Alt" button. Are there symbols that can be typed in so the mapkey sequence will recognize those buttons? IE the "$" in front of the "F" keys.

I have not tried calling a mapkey once a text box is open but you could have a mapkey that opens a text box, then have the mapkey paste the text in. I assume that is what you are trying to do.

Actually all I need it to do is hit the "ok" button on a text box without having to go back to the mouse. It's a long story as to why I need this, but it would be helpful. I know it probably doesn't make much sense and it would take a lot of typing to explain the exact reason.

I want the mapkey to be "Ctrl" (or a key like that) and the "Enter" key.
