Spacebar should confirm commands and repeat the last command #2107
Description
Resolution
The > button to the left of the command line was enabled. In that mode, Space inserts a space instead of acting as Enter. This explains the behavior I reported, so I am closing this request.
Original request
Please make Spacebar work like Enter in the CAD command workflow. AutoCAD users commonly use Spacebar both to confirm a typed command or prompt and to repeat the previous command.
Expected behavior
- After typing a command or alias, Spacebar executes it.
- During a command, Spacebar confirms the current prompt or accepts its default value, where Enter would do so.
- When no command is active and the command input is empty, Spacebar repeats the last command.
- While editing ordinary text, Spacebar still inserts a space.

Can you explain how it's not doing that? (Btw, there is a button with > on it right to the left of the command line and perhaps that is toggled on. If it IS, then place is space and not ever enter.)
