CONNECT - Accudraw focus

Question

How do I quickly give accudraw focus with CONNECT? With SS3/SS4 I use the spacebar for this.

Primarily start a tool that uses AccuDraw, however as mentioned above: 
F11 runs key-in AccuDraw dialog putting focus in AccuDraw (like V8i) 
M runs key-in 'AccuDraw mode' so does put focus in AccuDraw but also changes mode, pressing it twice will put focus in AccuDraw 
H runs key-in 'AccuDraw hold', pressing it twice will put focus in AccuDraw 
There are several other familiar AccuDraw key-ins which can be seen in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog. 
Another button could be assigned to 'AccuDraw mode'.

Try the f11 key.

Having just Alt+Tabed away to another application, done something there then Alt+Tabbed back to MicroStation, I find that the focus is (unsurprisingly) where I left it, say key-in dialog, so I can immediately start entering a key-in. The F keys also respond immediately to switch focus.
