Use this key to turn the basket on when needed and off when it might cause mis-snaps. This is a time-waster that really adds up if it happens repeatedly. The basket of snaps often snaps to an object that you did not intend. F3 - Toggles the Osnap tool (what I call the “Basket of Snaps”–see tip 1004) on and off.Useful when the Command Line is too small to see what you are interested in. F2 - Opens the AutoCAD text window, which shows an extended view of the Command Line entries.I actually think that is probably the best idea, as long as you keep the key stashed away so you can put it back on if needed. Here’s a radical solution: one CADster friend of mine actually pops the F1 key out of his keyboard using a screwdriver so that it can’t accidentally trigger the Help window. It’s right next to the heavily-used Escape key, often gets bumped by mistake, and is likely to frustrate the CAD user who is constantly needing to hit Escape to get free of a “sticky” command such as the Line tool. This key can be more trouble than it’s worth.
