Drop down menu at cursor

Anonymous
Not applicable

I unwittingly changed a setting and can't seem to get my preferred setting back.  I do not like the drop down menu at my cursor to repeat commands, hit enter, etc. - see the screenshot below to see what I am referring to.  I cannot figure out how to get rid of it.  It is driving me crazy and it changes the number of clicks or enters needed to do commands.  I have dynmode turned off. I've checked and unchecked every box I can find in settings and options that I think might control it to no luck.  Help!

Hi,

 

that looks like a damaged ( often = user edited ) context menu

 

Note: My opinion. Just disabling all context menus are stupid (sorry, i don't know a better word for this),

I like the possibility of  SHORTCUTMENUDURATION 

also my left thumb [Space] is a better option than right-clicking(all over the day).

 

Back to topic: What is your current setting for SHORTCUTMENU?

I'm away from CAD ATM but have a look in Options for Right Click Settings. All the options are there.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

The value for the shortcutmenu is 11

Thank you!  I was going crazy and this fixed it. I was focusing on finding drop down menu info and didn't focus on the fact it occurred on a right click all the time.

Ok, that doesn't explain this contextmenu content, but why you have a context menu

=11 means ALL contextmenu on (a good choice, but you dislike it, i know)

 

Type in Command: SHORTCUTMENU<enter>[F1]

 

Or go  the gui way:

Command: OPTIONS<enter>

Tab User Preferences | Windows Standard behavior
