I want to create a shortcut to toggle my labels between Associative/Independant. Cannot find the right command? Any ideas?

I am not aware of any shortcut that could achieve this. The "G" key is usually the Geometry Method shortkey, but for some reason it does not work in case of the Label Tool.
I assume that the reason it does not work is because there are actually two buttons in the Geometry Method panel of the Label Info Box, so a single shortcut key would not be adequate to set all possible settings combinations.
Therefore, the developers may have decided not to implement the 'Geometry' shortcut key for this Tool.

Thanks Laszlo. I do have the Geometry Method shortcut set up for walls and that works fine but as you mentioned, not with label tool.

I'd love to have the ability to make this into a shortcut, especially since the favourites do not recognise this property either. Maybe v21 😕

You should make this into a wish.
I can imagine this could work:
The Geometry panel of the Label Tool has two buttons, both have two states.
So the G shortcut key should have these four states:

Associative + Simple
Associative + Detailed
Independent + Simple
Independent + Detailed

Then you could use the G key to cycle through 4 four combinations.
If you make a wish, I will vote for it. Please include a link to this post in the Wish.
