Focus remains on command line after competed command.

Post by Panchdara » Thu Feb 21, 2019 9:40 pm

Hi. If I use the command line to specify a command or type a coordinate, then once the command is complete the command line still has focus. Move/Copy command is where I noticed this. After I type in a new location then the dialog appears and I complete the move/copy, the command line still has focus. Is this the correct behavior. Is there a way to change this?

I hope this question makes sense.

Edit: I suppose I have this wrong - what I mean to ask: is there an option to terminate command input after a command has been completed?

Yes. I think I was trying to be lazy. It was during a move/copy that I really notice this after the dialog pops up (move or copy or copy w/duplicates) to complete the task - the command line then becomes active again. (and only when the Target point is entered via command line)

ESC it is then :lol:
