User alias and space bar key

[suresh070379]

Hi,
I am new to Catia. I worked in Solid works and Autocad. When I add the shortcut keys through user alias in Catia, I am facing a problem in entering the 'enter' key. For example, I have assigned 'F' for 'fit all' command. if I want this shortcut, I need to press F button first and go to right for 'enter' button. But, in AutoCAD, if we press the 'space bar', it is fine to execute the command. If it is possible, I can assign more than 20 shortcuts by simply typing the "letter+space" in one hand while I am using mouse in another hand. So, please give idea that
1.if it is possible to assign the space bar as enter key
or
2.instead of using 'enter' key in key board, if it is possible to middle button of mouse for enter.
So that, I will use the left hand for letter typing and right hand for enter button.

I have always used 'Accelerator' instead of 'User Alias'. I have 'Fit All In' mapped to the 'Home' key and do not need to hit enter. Coming from SolidWorks myself I tried to map the 'F' key to fit but believe that any character finds its way to the text entry box in the bottom right. I also mapped the 'End' Key to create a dimension. In turn I also mapped these to extra buttons on my mouse.

I hope this helps.

PS sorry for the excessive use of '''s

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I have a doubt in the accelerator key setting.
In the accelerator key, we can use (CTRL, SHIFT & ALT)+any letter. But, I have a query in 'other' pop up which has enormous keys.
I used 'space+F' key for fit all short cut as a trial basis. But, when I type space itself, the drawing or model got start to fit.
please clarify me that the key available in other folder are only to be assigned or '+ letter' to be used
