2024 ESC key always runs the _new command?

[velvet_forcing_0a]

Just downloaded 2024, and whenever I press the ESC key (even while in a drawing command), it pops up the open dialog to choose a template, and the command line history shows the _new command.

This can't be intentional, right?

2023 doesn't do it.

Hi @velvet_forcing_0a ,

There is a bug (defect) in AutoCAD 2024 for Mac.

If you have redefined standard shortcut with CUI command, you need to remove undefined shortcuts on Shortcuts tab of the CUI window:

 Select undefined (greyed out) shortcuts one by one and pick on "-" button to remove them from list. Save settings with OK button.

Now test Esc key.
