Learn Keyboard Shortcuts with an API app

Filed under: UI — harrymattison @ 1:56 pm

Would you like to use Revit faster? I learned about KeyRocket from posts at What Revit Wants and better Revit. KeyRocket is great for Windows and Office, but it doesn’t know anything about Revit.

So I used the Revit API to make this app to help remind Revit users of the shortcuts. Any thoughts on this before I put it in the Autodesk App Store?

    • Hi Marcello,

      In case it wasn’t clear, this app doesn’t create shortcuts. It shows the shortcuts that are defined through the Revit UI. I created a shortcut for the Spline command in the Draw menu and it seems to work fine.
