    <description>&lt;P&gt;It seems to me that the current settings of how selection works in Revit must have been done by one young Sheldon Cooper. Very good theory, yet no practicality in operations.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;E.G. ESC to finish selection. ESC to finish command. After finishing editing commands like Move, Rotate, items remain selected (!?, just why??). Multiselection enabled by default (press ESC to finish selection!).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;All these are dragging Revit execution speed down, not the internal speed of Revit, but the number of commands inputted by user per minute.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;By reducing/optimizing the number of user inputs, we could increase the overall speed, just by:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;-Right-click to finish selection (instead of ESC)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;-Right-click to finish commands (instead of ESC or click in empty space)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;-Automatically deselect item(s) when command is finished&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;-Single selection by default + press SHIFT for Multiselection (instead of Multiselection by default + ESC to finish selection)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Time is money, so make Revit faster by making the users faster.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I would argue there is very little benefit to Right Click over ESC. It still requires 1 click from a user just depends which hand. I personally have my hand on the keyboard at all times with easy access to the ESC key and would prefer it over the right click function as I would like proper right-click options when I press that button on my mouse.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;That being said if this could be an option you have to opt into I wouldn't complain.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Again deselecting items when command is finished should be a user preference option as I find it very unhelpful when I am trying to do multiple things to a selection of elements. Again, my hand is ready to hit the ESC key at all times.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Unless I am completely misunderstanding you, single selection is the default. When I want to select multiple elements I have to hold the Ctrl key to do so. How does it work for you?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;None of the suggestions you put forth are particular time savers in my opinion and so should all be opt in options if at all.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3433291"&gt;@CFNBen&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;: ESC is a relic from the 1980s. It was never meant for the regular user/usage. It was meant as an emergency stop for high-load processes gone wrong. As it (still) is today. If you like to ESCape every other minute, that's totally fine by me.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I would use ESC to STOP a Dynamo script when generating thousand adaptive panels, but i would not use ESC to end some mere simple selection. Somehow, it just seems wrong to me.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/562050"&gt;@ipselute&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;I mean if you want to use a different key then that's fine - I'm not sure the argument that "the ESC key is old" is a reason to stop using it?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You're literally suggesting we use a different button at our fingertips. Let's not pretend this is some revolutionary change.&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Like I said, if it's an option I'd be fine with it but I'd prefer that the efforts of the Revit production team work on items which will provide more time savings to be honest.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Can you comment on the quote below from your original post? I don't understand. As I said - for me, single selection IS the default. I have to hold Ctrl to select more than one element at a time.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/562050"&gt;@ipselute&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;wrote:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;P&gt;...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;-Single selection by default + press SHIFT for Multiselection (instead of Multiselection by default + ESC to finish selection)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Time is money, so make Revit faster by making the users faster.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
