Customize Keyboard Accelerators

[a.wu]

Hello All,

Is there a way to customize the Keyboard Accelerators like "CTRL + C" in Revit? Thanks for any reply.

Shortcut Keys like CTRL-C is not Revit Shortcuts, but build-in Windows shortcuts - which i´m not sure how to edit (if even possible)

The Revit shortcuts like CC (Copy) etc, is however editable, thru the "keyboardShortcuts.txt" located in C:\Program Files\Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010\Program\

Or if I want to assign "CTRL + W" to CLOSE. If there a way to do that in Revit?

Not sure what you want to close, but "close" is not in the KeyboardShortcuts.txt, so the answer must be no.

(OK, Close is in there, but under snap settings, Close=SZ)

Of course, Ctrl+F4 is close sub-window. However, AutoHotKey is a good way to program even multiple keystrokes. This one does Close and Enter upon Ctrl+w in the classic UI:

#IfWinActive, Revit
^w:: ; hotkey to close revit rvt or rfa
WinWait, Revit
WinWaitActive, Revit
Send, {ALTDOWN}f{ALTUP}c
Sleep, 100
Send, {ENTER}
return

We use CW for close windows. You have to add it the the Project and Family shortcuts.
