I don't use position mapping, so I would have never noticed any crossover conflict.

Glad you figured something out!

Ok, so I'm answering my own question - but MaryB told me it was possible ! (thanks MaryB)

I figured out that when position mapping is on, it takes precedence over any keyboard shortcuts. So if you want to use a keyboard shortcut, you need to change a letter out of one of the corresponding position mapping shortcuts.

Like MaryB, I set "T" to perpendicular and "R" for nearest

1) Under position mapping - , under "Tasks&Ribbon" pulled out "T and "R" and swapped for "A" and "S"

2) Deleted previous "T" and "R" keyboard shortcuts

3) Added in "T" with key-in "snap perpendicular" and "R" for "snap nearest" under the keyboard shortcuts

Since R wasn't previously in the tool settings, nothing to move out of precedence.

Note: now my hatch position mapping is set to "A" and Text is set to "S".

I actually have changed up some of my Accudraw/keyboard shortcuts to include certain snap modes I use all the time, such as N for nearest, P for perpendicular, I for Intersection. You may have to use the keyin browser to get the actual command strings you would use for those shortcuts. It also means that the default commands for those letter combos need to be assigned to something else.

Plenty of people still use position mapping. That can be enabled in your Preferences.
