Four years on, and I still feel this tool could be so much better.

(second attempt to post this question) We have a mix of Win7 and Win8 computers, with ArcGis 10.2.1 On the Win7 computers, under Add-In Manager > Options tab, we can add a well-known folder to the box "Search for additional Add-Ins in these folders". This path is retained by ArcMap, (possibly in the Normal.mxt since it is present in a blank ArcMap doc, before opening an mxd). This path is not retained on Win8 machines. When you close ArcMap and reopen it you have to reenter the path and reload the add-ins. Anyone encountered and solved this?

Win 7 Pro SP1 ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 I use classic snapping exclusively. Under Windows 7 the "snap tips" appear and disappear so quickly that I cannot read them, but with the same release of ArcMap on XP they were working fine. I can see that the cursor has snapped but I have to jiggle the mouse around and watch carefully to catch the snap tip. Really, even watching very closely I have to see the tip several times before I can read it. (As before, the tips appear next to the cursor and/or in the status bar.) Has anyone else seen this or solved it?

Tim, did you ever get this sorted out? I am getting pretty frustrated with this.

Excellent ideas. Surely this could be implemented with the existing 2 input boxes: just have the tool recognize a TAB character as a separator between the X and Y coords. You paste the pair into the first box and it moves the 2nd coord to the 2nd box. This would allow one to copy/paste two adjacent cells from a spreadsheet (the tab is automatically inserted between cell values). Also I can quickly insert a tab character between columns of coords in a text editor. Taking it further, I would like to see a couple of additional features added to this tool: 1. Click on the map and get the XY coords of the location (loaded into the input boxes). Then be able to flash, add point, etc as normal.) 2. Ability to copy the coord pair with one click. Currently you must do this one coord at a time, and you have to select (highlight) the coord before you can copy it. 3. Abiility to copy the contents of the "Recent" list to clipboard. I know this tool is called Go To XY, and I know the GetXY function is already part of the Identify tool, but in my workflows these functions go togeher. Put them together and rename the tool.

ArcGIS 10 Win XP SP 3 Is there a way, perhaps in the registry, to make "classic snapping" the default? Every time I start an ArcMap session I have to go in and click Editor>Options>Use classic snapping, and of course often I forget to set it up until I'm in the middle of editing a feature. I know it's a small thing but it's getting old.

I would prefer that the existing function in ArcMap just worked well. Increasing ArcMap's speed and reliability would save me more time than trying to add even more functions. In my workshop I have a table saw, bandsaw, jig saw and various hand saws. Each does what it does very well, reliably and predictably. I don't want a Swiss Army saw.
