Issues with spacebar as bindkey

Clint Meyer

Hello

I am trying to apply the following bindkey

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>space" "mouseApplyOrFinishPoint()")
hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>space EF" "")

This works wonderfully until I create a wire......the spacebar bindkey is overwritten to add via and no longer works as "mouseApplyOrFinishPoint()" in other commands.

I am using IC6.1.7-64b.500.22

Thanks for any insight.

    I solved this issue.  I had a mistake in the enterFunction bindkey.  Although I don't understand why after I executed the wire command that the space bindkey was overwritten.

    Proper bindkey 

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>space" "mouseApplyOrFinishPoint()")
    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>space EF" "mouseApplyOrFinishPoint()")
