How do I permanently turn filters off

Every now and then I hit something that turns the selection filters on. I NEVER use these intentionally and would like to disable them permanently. Is there a way to do this? Does anyone know what keyboard shortcut I might be hitting to turn these on?

I nutoriously turn them on by hitting E when ever I want to zoom fit instead of hitting simply F I still haven't completely broken the ACrud habbit of using Z-Enter-E-Enter. This may be because periodically I still have to do a bit of work in ACrud. If you hit E again or F5 will bring the filter toolbar forward and you can turn it all off there.

I also find that for me a mistaken filter is just about always "e" for edges. Since I toggle "x" all day long, I don't want to disable the filters. I would say we mostly need to fix the fat fingers. ;-)

One of the nice things about using the F6 key is that the toolbar doesn't need to be showing for this to work. It will toggle the filters on and off regardless of whether the toolbar is showing or not. Here's a list of all the keyboard shortcuts.

Go to SolidWorks help and search on "keyboard shortcuts" and you'll find a listing for all the defaults.

F6 togglesoff all filters (and hitting it again will trun them all back on!). I just trained myself to hit f6 like a cobra striking its prey

To the original question - you can go to tool>customize>keyboard. You can remove preset hotkeys there. The ones you are looking for are under 'others'

I have assigned another shortcut to the "e" key
