If you have ever worked with AccuDraw you know keeping the focus in the AccuDraw dialog can be troublesome.  There is a setting in the Preferences that can make it easier.

1. From the pull down menu Workspace > Preferences > Look and Feel > Auto-Focus Tool Settings Window

2. Check ON the Auto-Focus Tool Settings Window.

3. Click the Ok button.

Try it out by selecting the Move or Copy icons. Notice how the focus stays with AccuDraw dialog.

Additional practice with dialog focus

With this setup the focus will stop going Home.  If you want to go to Home so you can use your positional keyboard mapping press the Esc key.

To get focus back to the Toolsettings Window F10.
