Francisco J. Serrano sends us a neat little trick that can work for AutoCAD, or any other program that you are using.

"Stick a small red (or white) dot on the F keys — such as F3, F10, and F11 — to speed and visually facilitate the key input while drafting."

Notes from Cadalyst Tip Patrol: This is a great tip for users who can't type without looking at the keyboard, or those who forget where the function keys are. You could also try using a five-button mouse and programming the extra buttons to work like the function keys.
