Help w/ new keyboard shortcuts?

[patricks]

eh... sounds like too much work having to coordinate and stay on top of it. I'll just stick to double-letter shortcuts for my "priority" items (same key 2 times). The only thing I used the priority section of the old text file for was so I could use a single letter and spacebar for certain shortcuts, and the same letter key twice works just as well.

Try typing KS, or under the big R icon > Options > General there should be a button for it at the bottom of the dialog box.

Turns out I just hadn't downloaded all of the parts to the sub. pack. Thx.

So just to be clear:

"Isolate Elements" is missing from the fancy shortcuts dialog.
BUT - you can't even manually edit the XML file the shortcut file is based on to get the shortcut through the back door?

PS. From the Family Editor - Create>Family Editor>Load into Project is missing as well.

But why did they eliminate the ability to use the space-bar??? That was a BIG favorite leftover from the autocad days. In fact, it was missing in early versions of Revit, then showed up again, and now gone

Matt,

Space bar still works. Open the keyboard editor and hit <Letter> <Spacebar>. Click Assign. Works on mine for Move ceiling and a few others.

That does not work for me for simple things like "move." When I do it, it brings up match attribute, because MA is the closest command to M. My bet is that you're getting lucky and the spacebar "keystroke" is actually being ignored.

Space bar is working, but we have lost the ability to easily control the sort order of which command comes first in the list - hence you don't always get the command you expect (watch bottom left corner of your screen). Actually there is a sort of workaround (earlier in this post), but I wouldn't recommend it. I don't think it was deliberate, and the Factory know about this, so hopefully it'll be addressed in the next release.

I changed my move to m<space> and got the problem you described. However I have c<space> for ceiling and cp for copy and I have no issue there.

Must be the order thing on the xml file.

Not being able to hit "Z" <Spacebar> to zoom a region/window is going to drive me nuts!!!

And I can't start removing other keystokes that start with "Z" just to make this work.

Come on factory - work with me...

The Factory are aware of this, and hopefully will fix it. In the meantime, here are a couple of temporary workarounds:

1. To get "Load into project" shortcut working , add the shortcut you want (say LP) to "Model Group:Load as Group into Projects" - it should work in the family editor.

2. Look for the workaround advised earlier in this thread - re.editing the xml file and making it read only.
