To use a keyboard shortcut in Revit, press the keys of the shortcut. When you press the final key in the shortcut, Revit executes the tool.
Keyboard Shortcuts From the Status Bar
As you press one or more keys in the shortcut, the status bar displays those keys and indicates the first matching shortcut and its corresponding tool.
- To cycle through additional matching shortcuts, press the down arrow or the right arrow.
- To reverse direction through the list of matching shortcuts, press the up arrow or the left arrow.
- To execute the tool that is currently displayed on the status bar without typing the remaining keys, press the Spacebar.
Note: This feature does not apply to keyboard shortcuts that include Ctrl, Shift, or Alt. If only one keyboard shortcut matches the pressed keys, nothing displays on the status bar.
