Keyboard shortcuts stop working

[sascari]

For some reason, several minutes after opening a project keyboard shortcuts stop working completely. Keyboard works normally in any other program.

Try a Repair.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks.  Just wanted to check if anyone else experienced similar issues.

-Just your PC? or do other users have the same problem?

-Just one project? or all projects?

-Try cold-reboot on PC.

-Re-start Revit.

-If problem still occurs, then perhaps Repair of re-install of Revit will correct the problem.

This happens to me too, quite often actually  - across all projects. 

none of my colleagues report this to me though - possibly because they don't use shortcuts as much as me...? I pretty much only  use shortcuts

it works in other programs, only revit seems to stop seeing my keyboard. 

SOLUTIONS : restarting Revit works, otherwise if its quicker - unplug and replug your keyboard from the usb and you'll be good to go again. 

i don't understand why this happens though sorry

That is why a good common sense is to export your shotcut keyboard file and import it when in need.

I know this was an old one, but I just encountered the same problem. I was assigning a keyboard shortcut to export a revit schedule. It seemed as though it was working the first time and then wouldn't work again after that. I accidentally solved my own problem, click anywhere in the ribbon and the shortcut will then work.

thanks @paul_aguiar

Just had this issue in Revit 2022.1. 

Your fix of clicking on the tool ribbon fixed the keyboard shortcuts.  Specifically for me, I had to click in an open area of the tool ribbon without a button.

I suspect many users predominantly use buttons so they would not notice if they encountered this error.
