On the current version of QCAD (used on a M1 MacBook Pro) you can set a keyboard shortcut timeout which I have set to 5000, 5seconds is ok to press two keys and press return. However I find this this method of selecting the command line is not consistent, its selection time varies from approx 0.5sec up to 5sec which leads to incorrect command selection.
To get around this at preset I use a mouse click to select the command line which works every time.
An option not to use the keyboard time would be better so the space bar selects command line, return key executes and closes or Esc cancels and closes selection
Hope you can look into this
Regards Paul

Note that if you enter a key code (for example LI to draw lines) all you have to do is press the L key on your keyboard and then press the I key. No need to move the focus to the command line and no need to press Enter at any stage.
I couldn't reproduce any kind of delay when pressing space till the command line gets the keyboard focus here.
