Really Bentley, are you just changing things for change's sake?
Whenever I press an accudraw shortcut I am used to seeing a little green text text pop-up with a black background confirming the command so where has this gone?
It's a bit disconcerting not seeing this any more so why was this feature removed??
For those not aware of what I am referring to:

Previously shortcuts were "part of" AccuDraw and only worked when AccuDraw had focus. The entire shortcut system was enhanced to allow shortcuts to be used regardless of whether the AccuDraw dialog is open. Being able to use shortcuts when focus is either on AccuDraw or Home is probably my favorite change in Connect.
You do still get a popup to help with completing 2 letter shortcuts, but it's at the cursor because shortcuts aren't tied to AccuDraw any longer. A pop-up for single letter shortcuts wasn't considered necessary, especially one that probably isn't where you are looking, but maybe that will be revisited based on the defect that has been filed.

If you don't find the spacebar menu useful, just type "keyboard shortcuts" in the ribbon search bar and change the space, P, and M shortcuts to the key-ins you are accustomed to.
HTH
I have Brien, just don't get the change in the first place. When you're going through major changes to builds like this it's just another thing that has to be done.
So the UX folks haven't used this software for 20 years...The space bar was pretty valuable for switching Accudraw mode. Does "O" still set the Accudraw origin? Does <Enter> still lock the axis? Is there documentation anywhere for what the "new" Accudraw shortcuts are?
The potential drop in production is another of many reasons that we are reticent to switch to Connect. It's not the biggest reason, but it's a known drawback.

You can open the shortcuts dialog and see all the current shortcuts.
Found them: https://docs.bentley.com/LiveContent/web/MicroStation%20Help-v14/en/GUID-F954C772-A9B3-79A5-8441-AEC7EA77DCB0.html

Yes unless you are running ORD then they step on this with "civilcoord setorigin" even if you don't have Civil AccuDraw loaded. I guess the ORD guys would say not to use AccuDraw instead use Civil AccuDraw but I find it of value when doing simple things.

yep
We'll agree to disagree on that one Brien.
Thanks,
