Hot keys for transparent commands

[rickowilmath]

If I am in the middle of a command, for example, LINE, I want to be able to specify "endpoint" or "intersection" or "center" using hot keys. I want to be able to issue those transparent commands with just a couple of keystrokes such as ^e for endpoint or ^s for intersection.

I know there are potential conflicts with windows hot keys, and even autocad hot keys but this has worked in the past and I don't see any reason why it can't work now. 

In the past I used an add on program called Autohook that did just that but the program isn't working right and they are no longer supporting it.

Any ideas?

Thanks

@babulalsahu , I already know how to use transparent commands. However, I want to use hot keys or accelerator keys with these commands. With the Autohook, third party add on software I could program a macro so that when I hit control s (for example) the program would issue the transparent command 'intersection when I was right in the middle of a command.

I want to do this so that I can keep my left hand on the keyboard and my right hand on the mouse.

As matter of fact, the are already built-in Shift combination overrides, see HERE 

But you can always define your own (say CTRL combs), go to the CUI dialog...

In the end, sort the upper-right window by Keys, and make sure you get the green arrow for your shortcut. You might get a red cross (= conflict), then you need to unassign the conflicted one to get yours to green.
