I want to disable Function Key F1

[Dayananda]

I want to disable Function Key  F1  Because Esc and F1 keys are very close in my key board.

Get smaller fingers so you don't hit them by accident?

 

Look at an internet search:  'AutoCAD mapping F keys"

You need to modify the key from the CUI manually.

Another approach is to use the AutoHotkey program, as follows:
1. Download and install the AutoHotkey program from the address: https://www.autohotkey.com/
2. Create a text file and name it, for example, NOT_F1.AHK (the AHK extension is mandatory!). The file will contain a single line, as below:

F1::return

3. Launch the script by double-clicking on its name. The F1 key will be disabled for ALL your programs!
4. An icon will be created in the System tray, as in the attached picture.

5. If you want to reactivate the F1 key, press Exit and you will restore the functionality of the F1 key.

Not sure disabling F keys for all programmes is the best solution when you can do it just for AutoCAD

@Steven P

I'm not saying that the AutoHotkey solution is the best! It's just another approach. In AutoHotkey there is also possible to disable a key only for a specific window. I don't want to go into details. On the other hand, not all CAD programs can apply the CUI solution. For example, it doesn't work in ZWCAD.

I think Tharwat had the right solution :
