Topic: How do you execute most of your commands?

[Maverick®]

1/3 keyboard shortcuts, 1/3 toolbars, 1/3 voice commands.

*most days*

Sounds interesting, part of the CAD package you're using?

I'd like to see some AutoCad coding for something like that (not sure it's possible).

If my knee-jerk reaction to this question was "firing squad", what does that say about me??

That you and Bob think along the same lines...

An option.  It can be buggy. But when it works it is a huge time saver.  Makes people look at me funnier. 

"wall,2by6,start 29 ft.right, edit, 9ft, "

command aliases for the large majority of stuff.

and once in a while:
undo undo undo undo undo undo undo undo undo undo undo undo undo
undo undo undo undo undo undo undo undo undo undo undo undo undo
undo undo undo undo undo undo undo undo undo undo undo undo undo

[Bob Garner]

Yeah, Birdy's right. 

No matter how I enter my commands, 90 percent of them are followed with repeated hits on the escape key.

You should have the command entry choice: "Usually by error"

Oh, you must be talking about the shiny key up in the top left corner of the keyboard with the label worn off.

i didn't see the option for 'right-click'

but i suppose, or i'm guessing that has to do with my custom menu?

i right-click for my most commonly used commands... otherwise, I use aliases or toolbars.

[t-bear]

I checked toolbars, digitizer (Nostromo N52) and command line, in that order.  The first two together would cover about 80% of my command execution though, with command line entry about 20%. I pretty much spend my day with mouse in right hand and N52 in left....naturally with breaks for donuts, tea, cookies, Dr. Pepper and chips.....naturally. 

[Julie@Integra]

Probably 45% custom toolbars, 35% command line/aliases, and 20% customized menus.
I never use palettes (though I know I probably should). Haven't used a digitizer in I-don't-know-how-many-years.

Right hand's always on the mouse, while the left hand's at the keyboard. The hands just flyyyyyyyy on auto-pilot. In order to answer this poll/thread, I had to make a point of slowing way down and really paying attention.

And it was an excrutiating process, for the record.      Really wasn't planning on thinking today. Sheesh.

Your comments are welcome...

You are funny looking.

Know the feeling...you get in the zone and it's like sitting there watching yourself....................time flies by.

I've planned on not thinking *EVERY* day Julie...so far, the plan is a succeeding.............

Command line, and my customized middle mouse button menu.

is that with mbuttonpan set to 1 or 0.  when it's set to 0, I would like to know how to override the default osnap menu that appears, as you get the same menu with a shift-right-click
