Lisp Routine Command Display Name not showing in Command Line Suggestion List

Hello, I have what appears to be a unique problem after installing AutoCAD Map 3D 2026 on my Windows 11 Lenovo Legion laptop that is not occurring on my AutoCAD Map 3D 2024 installation on my Windows 10 Lenovo desktop.

 

I have a bunch of lisp routines that we have edited the Command Display Names of to be our keyboard shortcuts. This has always worked like, for example, our "Draw-Pline" command, you can just type "P" and enter to run the command because the Command Display Name is "P". 

 

On my acad 24 desktop install, it shows up like so in the autocomplete if you just type "P", hit enter and go...

Now, when I try to run the same command after loading all my apps and menus in the new install of 2026 on the laptop, the "P" doesn't return anything and I have to type the full command "DRAW-PLINE"

26 Example.png

Here is how the CUI properties are set up for the command on each acad install:

Does anyone have any ideas on this?  Hoping this isn't a 2026 bug with the autocomplete.

 

Thanks!

I think that in the cui you would need to somehow select that item in your menu. If you have a lisp that is loaded on startup it may have the (defun c:P in it. The other way is look at your PGP file it has the aliases in it. You may also have a mnl file. You may need to redefine the "P" command as its the shortcut for "Pan"

isn't that just part of the input settings at command prompt ?

Pehaps @Sea-Haven is correct, maybe its not a proper function name

I was going to try the PGP alias route yesterday but noticed both PGP files for the 24 and 26 installs are the same and are set to "P" being Pan so I didn't mess with it. I went ahead and tried this now that you mentioned it and it worked when I added "DRAW-PLINE" lisp command for the P alias. Weird that I have to do this for 26 and not 24, but not mad if it works. Thanks!

Just me I try to not redefine commands so maybe "PD", "DPL" or "PPP" pretty quick to type 3 "p's" if its something you use all the time what about a toolbar I have made my own for just this reason. I have them vertical on edge. Have left and right.
