Using "ESC" as shortcut

[nsinha73]

I wanna use ESC to 'Close all Open Windows'
Is there any way....How do you guys do that. I prefer working in one window at a time.....

Esc is for aborting commands... oh wait thats AutoCAD :Oops:
Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for but there is the "close all hidden windows" which closes everything except the active view. You can change its shortcut by modifying the 'KeyboardShortcuts.txt' file in the Program folder.

can't change escape. All you can do is change the shortcut in the keyboard shortcuts file. We set ours to "CH". If you're using it really frequently you may change it to a double letter, like "XX" or something. Should be very quick to double press the X key...

close hidden = 1

you can't get much quicker than that!

I guess this goes in Revit.ini or somewhere? Could you elaborate :-)

I would put it in the shortcuts as <``>.

Its so close to the escape key youll barely notice the difference...
