Improving Lag time Between Editing Tools

When I'm editing in Pro, switching between say the line to an arc tool seems to have a bit of a lag before the next tool I select is enabled.  Often I am using hotkeys or keybinds ("accelerators" in Pro terms) and finding the lag which I didn't encounter in ArcMap to be a problem as I am finding I'm sitting and waiting for the tool to switch over and many times I have to undo the last thing I did because it didn't switch the tool over fast enough.

  Granted I do have an older Windows 7 computer with 3.30GZ i5-4590 CPU and 16GB ram, but wasn't sure if that's part of the problem or if this just seems to be the norm in all of ArcPro regardless of computer power?

  It reminds me in MS Office where it has a sort of animation when you type that to turn of you have to get into your windows Advanced Settings and change the Visual Effects to have Animate controls and elements inside windows off.

  Just don't know if there is something I can do to stop this type of laggy issue which I feel might be linked to visually updating the editing toolbar when a new tool is selected?

That was the issue, I rebound it to another key and it works as fast now as the others.  Hopefully one day soon, Pro will release these hard coded keys to allow the same keys and keybinds as ArcMap did as I'm finding so many of the keybinds that are locked now such as the CTRL-Q and Insert, Home, PgUp, etc and ones like -=[]\;',./ and basic Fkeys are bound to things I don't really use at  all and it's just making it harder to make easy editing keybinds I used to love and use with ease in ArcMap.

 

  Wishful thinking I guess.  I did find this list (https://www.esri.com/content/dam/esrisites/en-us/media/pdf/g526942-arcgis-pro-kybrd-shrtct-FINAL.pdf), but it would be easier to have a map of the keyboard and show exactly what Arc currently locks.  Even entering in new (accelerators) the Customize the Ribbon will even allow you to assign say F3 to a tool, but then when you get into the map it won't work and going back you realize that keybind is no longer saved to the tool.  It's really odd.

Oh well, thanks for your help in solving this issue.  I know Pro is a lot more laggy than ArcMap, but that is probably going to be fixed with the new computer as mine is pretty out of date at least...

I'm glad we narrowed it down. I provided your feedback to the proper development team. For tracking something like this, you may want to consider posting your feedback over on ArcGIS Ideas https://community.esri.com/community/arcgis-ideas, or perhaps logging a case with Esri Technical Support - https://support.esri.com/en/contact-tech-support

It's already over there as https://community.esri.com/ideas/17263 and tagged as an 'arcmap equivalency' issue.

Yes I had posted it as Kory Kramer stated.  I also notice in the (https://www.esri.com/content/dam/esrisites/en-us/media/pdf/g526942-arcgis-pro-kybrd-shrtct-FINAL.pdf ) that the Ctrl-Q isn't even listed in there either.  So yes lots of confusion on my end with these locked binds and mystery locked binds.

  But at least I have a temporary solution and at least know it's not directly computer related on my end which is good to know...
