I see another thread about family browser "from the stone age" but Russell offered some sort of solution which is why I am replying to this one.

I especially would like things to be broken down better for faster insertion of families. Coming from an AutoCAD background I liked inserting by block name. If Revit could have a "keyword" inert option as well that would help save a significant amount of time. Anyway to reduce the amount of list scrolling time involved in all aspects of Revit would be extremely helpful.
