Resetting F Keys?

Does anyone know how to "reset" the Keyboard F-Keys? I must have  keyed something on accident because now all of a sudden when hit the F8 key for example, instead of the normal Ortho on/off, it is "cycling thru all the available autocad f-keys "Ortho on, ortho off, grid on, grid off, snap on, off, etc."...instead of having just the one assigned to it?

 

any ideas?

Have you've tried restarting AutoCAD and, if that fails, restarting the computer?

I seem to recall one my coworkers having this problem years ago (can't even remember what AutoCAD release it was), but I don't remember how we fixed it.


Work:  AutoCAD 2022.1.3, Windows 10 Pro v22H2 64-bit, Intel Core i7-8700K, 32GB RAM, Samsung 960 Pro SSD, AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100, 3 Dell Monitors (3840x2160)

You could also just reset AutoCAD as well: click on that big red A and explore.

Add another one to your list.

 

Running AutoCAD Mechanical 2014. F3 and F8 toggles are screwed. Sometimes have to switch back and forth 3 or four times to get the desired result. I have pushed F8 without taking a finger off the key and after continually pushing the key it will work correct. Hve only noticed this with F3, F6, and F8.
