Found a reference here. About half way down the page there's a couple zip files, early 90's, but I know it was out earlier than that.

Lightning Zoom had some Key re-definition stuff as well IIRC.
That was late 80/s early 90's.

Looks familiar, but I never used it.

We also had a utility that defined f11 and f12 appropriately named f11f12.com

EDIT

I finally remembered how we used these things.  They had to be loaded into the acad.bat file for starting autocad.  QKey.com redefined the keys and MRKey.com changed them back.  You had to careful about how they were loaded and how many lisp routines went in or there would not be enough memory for autocad to load properly.  Our first machine had 1mb of single chips mounted on the main board and there was little memory to spare.

It was a great way to learn the program.  All that tweaking to make it do what you needed gave a good foundation for understanding the whole package.

Hey, it was something to do last night in the rest home while waiting for the aides to change sheets and empty the bed pan.

Dang .. take a few minutes break and all heck breaks loose ... renaming layers has come full circle from RENAME and the layer dialog to Doskey to qkeys and back again ...
Incidently way back when (mid 80's), I used to use ansi.sys programming to create shortcut keys and expand upon the usefulness of the keyboard ....

I'll have to see if I can find some of those old ansi batch programs that essentially painted a pretty menu on the screen and enabled a cool user interface.

I recall using ansi.sys to build pretty menu systems too. At the time it was pretty techie stuff, though so was interrupt based programming which I did a lot of. My two fav books at the time were "The Undocumented PC" and "PC Interrupts" by Frank Gilluwe and Ralf Brown fame. Those guys were brilliant.

I know is not related my reply here, but anyone here remember how to extend or trim lines without the trim or extend command?

I had forgotten that ansi.sys had to be loaded before those commands would work.

Before grips came along in r12, I just used multiple fillet commands to trim and extend - a bad habit I still find myself using at times.
