Can I r-click repeat last command, ctrl+r-click shortcut menu?

Hi all.

I use right-click as repeat last command, but I can see the use of the right-click shortcut menus. Can I maintain right-click as repeat last command and make CTRL+right-click the shortcut menu? Essentially this is the same functionality as SHIFT+right-click for the OSNAP menu.

I've poked around in the CUI but cannot work out how to unleash this functionality, if you even can...

Why don't you just use TIME-SENSITIVE Right-Click? That way you tap to repeat the last command and press & hold to get menu.

Hi Warren,

Thanks for your suggestion. I had tried time-sensitive right-click when it first became a feature of AutoCAD and found it problematic, but couldn't remember why.

Since your suggestion I've been trying it, but there is minute delay and it really mucks up my workflow. Using TRIM as an example. I'm trying to trim a bunch of lines off to different boundaries. As I'm moving around the model trimming items I have to consciously wait maybe 1/4 second after selecting an item to right click or the command doesn't register. This means I have to constantly repeat commands which slows my workflow. This isn't a hardware problem, because as soon as I turn off time-sensitive right-click I can go as fast as I want.

So, I'm still looking for a solution to this problem, other than slowing my workflow.

TLDR; I'm still looking for an option to achieve this.

Look at variable SHORTCUTMENU. It should be greater than 15 for that "time-sensitive" switch that is in the dialog. See help for more bitcode information.
SHORTCUTMENUDURATION should be at default 250.
Next, possibly look into INPUTSEARCHDELAY and set to 1200.
