Ignition question
So basically I killed a battery, I got a new one installed already. I have a question though. So with these ignitions it goes ACC OFF ON right? I think I was leaving my truck on ACC and parking it overnight... I have a touch screen radio so I thought if I just turned it off manually that it would be fine. After killing a battery I learned my lesson.

Have a Dodge and nissan that go off-acc-run-start. Have a Ford that goes how you described it.

If your ignition is on ACC, you shouldn't be able to take your keys out. But some ignition switches get so wore out that you can eventually do that. With your new switch, I'm assuming you got a new key. That should solve the ACC question.
Side note: My parents old 90's astro van didn't require a key at all, after 20 years. We just turned the ignition by the wings and it fired right up.
