Numpad Key Shortcuts Change 'tab' key to 'Esc"

[Anonymous]

Hey everyone,

The title says it all.

I just recently bought this wireless numpad and it is great to have one hand on the mouse and the other on the numpad. However, I mostly use my keyboard hand for the esc key and there is no escape key on my numpad. Is there a quick way to assign the ^C^C macro to the 'tab' key on my numpad? I've tried looking through Autodesks guides such as this one < To Customize Shortkeys > but I've had no luck getting AutoCad to recognize the tab key on my numpad.

For reference I'm using:

-AutoCad 2017

-Targus AKP11 Numpad

-Windows 7 Pro

Any suggestions?

I think I was able to figure it out using AutoHotKey.

 NumpadTab::Esc
 Return

I just entered this script into a new .txt file and it works.
