As far as I understood, you need certain confirmation to proceed, isn't it? The simplest way is to redefine the commands and put some lisp routines in place. For example, the erase command below requires a confirmation from the user, and when you press Yes only it will erase the objects. I hope somebody may come up with reactor options.
RegardsCode:
(command "undefine" "erase") (defun c:erase (/ eObj nObj eCnf) (setq eObj (ssget)) (if eObj (progn (setq nObj (sslength eObj)) (initget "Yes No") (setq eCnf (getkword (strcat (rtos nObj 2 0) " object(s) found. Proceed [Yes/No]?: "))) (if (= eCnf "Yes") (command ".erase" eObj "") (princ "\nObjects retained.") ) ) ) (princ) )

Re: Run a LISP command after pressing ENTER or right-click in AutoCAD Interesting idea. Sometimes I wish that when I hit "L" for line, I do not
have to hit enter. I was using the free google sketchup software and like
how it automatically runs commands.Is there a way to set up quick keys that would not require the user
to press enter? This would be the opposite of the original post.

Re: Run a LISP command after pressing ENTER or right-click in AutoCAD It could be done, but then you would remove the ability to do two keystroke commands like "li" for list. My best suggestion, get a nostromo n52, and you can program away until your heart is content with one stroke commands... Check here for ideas, they are relatively cheap, even if you have to buy it on your own dime. If so then write it off on your taxes the following year.

Re: Run a LISP command after pressing ENTER or right-click in AutoCAD The autolisp command GRREAD allows keyboard and mouse monitoring.

Re: Run a LISP command after pressing ENTER or right-click in AutoCAD I thought those were more for gaming than anything else?
I can see your point for 2 keystroke commands. I would
require a device that gives the computer a few extra keys.
Too bad I couldn't just buy a 2 dollar number pad and get
it to work. Cheaper than your suggestion.

Re: Run a LISP command after pressing ENTER or right-click in AutoCAD Yeah but 104 programmable buttons. My left hand feels lonely when I CAD at home without it... The nostromo cant be beat, for what it does, also it is a perfect fit for most peoples hands. The panning on it isnt very good though.
