(OP)
A simple question for the fellow CADD masters out there, when I am in the MTEXT Window for text input, I need to use the "OK" button on the screen when I am complete with the text entry. I do not like grabing the mouse and clicking on "OK" everytime I am done with text.
I'm a keyboard type of guy and I'd like to use a keyboard entry for "OK", does anyone know an alternate key/shft/alt/ctrl combo that also does the "OK" in the MTEXT window?

RE: Enter Key With MTEXT

To go from "text box" to "OK button" hit TAB

RE: Enter Key With MTEXT

That depends on what version you are using SRO
In 2004 mtext supports tabs, so hitting the tab will only move your line of text over like any other text editor.

Unfortunately, kmacsys, I do not know a way of doing this if you are using 2004.  For previous version, I honestly don't remember.

RE: Enter Key With MTEXT

In 2004, you can double click anywhere on the screen to get out of the editor with your changes.  You do not need to click on OK, save a little time for you.  As for a shortcut to hit OK, click on CTRL-Enter at the same time.  Good Luck!

RE: Enter Key With MTEXT

Thanks, guys.

I tried and found interestingly, I made it by hitting Ctrl Break after the second point on my ACAD R2004.
