Rik, indeed that works well and also allows one to tab key select based on the find option before deleting. You can also do a window select as well and take out everything in one go. I used to use funckey d "delete; pick_to_grid -cursor; done" but have replaced it with yours. To help with routing and in particular for on the fly routing width changes I added in to the env file funckey x "prepopup ; pop dyn_option_select 'Options@:@Line width@:@New...' ;setwindow form.new_item" Seems to work good. Right now I have a function that just combines the toggle with adding a cline but will give your suggestion a try out. funckey w "add connect; toggle; etch length" In 17.2 I noticed cadence has extended the UI menus so that a user can assign their own options via a right click Icon. It is kind of handy and can save a trip to the main menus. Only thing is it is based on available commands as far as I can see. It would be cool if there was something like having custom macros assignable to physical Icons in the UI. My thinking is to do this now you kind of have to go the Skill road. I may try combine your good example of toggle with something like the cursors. It would be neat to be able to toggle through all of them just using one key without having to go to user preferences.
