you can change it so that it works a bit similar to the escape key which I assume is the button you want to press, by defining a new command in the CUI with ^C^C^C(ssetfirst nil). after u have defined your new command drag and drop it in the Shortcut Keys menu. then click on the command here and under the makro field should be a field for keys, here u should be able click the F1 button, then click apply.

You are using 2005 so you will need to modify your menu file. I always had a separate menu file for customization but this works just as well in the acad.mnu.

 

Look for an Accelerator section, if there isn't one then add one like below. I set my Function keys for osnaps so just adjust for what you would like.

 

***MENUGROUP=TESTING

***ACCELERATORS

ID_OsnapEndp [iNTERNAL+"F1"]

ID_OsnapPerp [iNTERNAL+"F2"]

ID_OsnapNear [iNTERNAL+"F3"]

ID_OsnapMidp [iNTERNAL+"F4"]

ID_OsnapQuad [iNTERNAL+"F5"]

ID_OsnapCent [iNTERNAL+"F6"]

ID_OsnapInte [iNTERNAL+"F7"]

ID_OsnapNode [iNTERNAL+"F11"]

ID_OsnapInse [iNTERNAL+"F12"]

ID_Copyclip [CONTROL+INTERNAL+"LEFT"]

ID_Pasteclip [CONTROL+INTERNAL+"RIGHT"]

I've changed my default help key in windows to be [sPACE]+C+V+B+N+M+F+G+H+J so that it only activates at those times when my forehead meets keyboard.
