Import Keyboard Shortcuts

You can import keyboard shortcuts from a text file or an XML file.

Use this feature to

• Import a keyboard shortcuts file given to you by another user.
• Migrate a keyboard shortcuts file from a previous release. KeyboardShortcuts.xml resides in the following location (only after you make changes to your keyboard shortcuts):
  • %APPDATA%\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit LT 2024 Release

During the import process, you can specify whether you want to do the following:

• Overwrite existing keyboard shortcuts with the imported ones. None of your current keyboard shortcuts will be preserved.
• Merge existing shortcuts with imported shortcuts. New keyboard shortcuts from the imported file are added to your keyboard shortcuts list. Your existing keyboard shortcuts are preserved.
