Add Keyboard Shortcuts

1. Click View tabWindows panelUser Interface drop-downKeyboard Shortcuts.
2. In the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, locate the desired Revit tool or command, using one or both of the following methods:
   • In the search field, enter the name of the command. As you type, the Assignments list displays the commands that match any part of a word. For example, all matches Wall, Tag All, and Callout. The search is not case-sensitive.
   • For Filter, select the user interface area in which the command occurs, or select one of the following values:
     • All: Lists all commands.
     • All Defined: Lists commands for which keyboard shortcuts are already defined.
     • All Not Defined: Lists commands that currently have no keyboard shortcuts defined.
     • All Reserved: Lists keyboard shortcuts that are reserved for specific commands. These keyboard shortcuts display in the list in gray. They cannot be assigned to other commands.

   If you specify search text and a filter, the Assignments list displays commands that match both criteria. If no commands are listed, select All for Filter.

   The Paths column of the Assignments list indicates where the command can be found in the ribbon or user interface. To sort the list by path or another column, click the column heading.

3. Add a keyboard shortcut to a command:
   1. Select the desired command from the Assignments list.

      The cursor moves to the Press new keys field.

      Note: If the Press new keys field is gray, you cannot define keyboard shortcuts for the selected command. It is a reserved command with a reserved keyboard shortcut. However, each reserved command has a corresponding command to which you can assign keyboard shortcuts. In the search field, enter the command name to locate the corresponding command.
   2. Press the desired key sequence.

      As you press keys, the sequence displays in the field. If needed, you can delete the contents of the field and press the desired keys again. See Rules for Keyboard Shortcuts.

   3. When the desired key sequence displays in the field, click Assign.

   The new key sequence displays in the Shortcuts column for the selected command.

If a command has only one keyboard shortcut, the shortcut displays in the tooltip the next time you start Revit. If a command has multiple shortcuts, the first shortcut in the Assignment list displays in the tooltip.
