QCAD Professional Version: 3.27.6.0 (3.27.6) Huawei Matebook Pro 2020: Windows 20 v21H2.
For some time I have experienced difficulty getting QCAD to 'let go' of previous commands. I typically exit a command using Esc or double-clicking on Q, but sometimes have to do this several times. I don't think this is a keyboard issue since it has not shown up with any of the other software I use. Any suggestions as to what the cause might be ?!

A right-click or Escape takes you back to the previous state of the current tool.

For example, if you right-click after setting the end point of a line, you can set a new start point at a different location instead of continuing a string of lines.

Depending on the tool, there are several steps to go through. A right-click or Escape always takes you to the previous step and only terminates the tool if there are no more steps left. You can always see in the status bar what a left click and a right click currently does.

The key code "QQ" (or clicking the arrow button at the top left) terminates the current tool immediately.

Thanks Andrew. That clarifies things.
