Paul, I’m coming to this topic late… apologies. I had similar Find Filter concerns, along with others that I wanted to address. This might be more than what you want, but it builds off of Rik's input which I think he gave me a while back and I have found very helpful. - Like you, I wanted the Find Filter defined with baseline settings dependent on the Application mode, and to re-use the same keyboard keys for dissimilar functions across Application modes. (Impossible with a straight ENV file solution) to define non Application mode Alias and Function keys depending on the Application Mode I invoked. to quickly modify the Find Filter without having to see it, or mouse to the Find Filter. to quickly switch to other Application modes for Etch Edit mode baseline grid auto set to 2.5 mils, for Placement mode baseline grid auto set to 25 mils. I invoke this by putting the command name in the Allegro.men file.
