    Default Revit Keyboard Commands Not Working Through Remote Desktop

    I am using a remote desktop service, Teamviewer specifically to login to work on Revit from home and am having the strangest problem. I can use keyboard commands for about 30 minutes (RO for rotate, E for erase etc.) and then they stop working. I can still type in a text box in Revit, just not the quick commands. It's pretty frustrating as I've become pretty used to using them.

    I've tried searching other forums for answers with no luck. I've heard people having similar problems with Windows RDC as well so I would imagine other people have experienced this as well.

    I don't think it's an RDC setting as the commands work for a while. I don't know if my work computer is updating something when I initially login, or scanning something and deciding it's a threat, or something else entirely.

    Don't know if anyone else has ever experienced this?

    Thanks!

    What is the operating system of your client machine? Perhaps this link may help (sticky keys and key filters): http://social.technet.microsoft.com/...w7itprogeneral

    Yes, I have similar problem. Though there are some days or even weeks when there are no problems at all with the quick commands. Once my colleague just opened some Revit settings, changed nothing, saved nothing and it worked. But now again I'm experiencing the same problem.

    I did end up learning what was going on... If caps lock was on none of the keyboard commands went through. Rather embarrassing, but just turned off caps lock and all was well.
