Revit Keyboard Shortcuts Disappeared

hard_pouchiem — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 14:08:40 GMT

So I started working today where I left off yesterday, but tool shortcuts don´t are nowhere to be found, which is weird because I was working on the same project yesterday and everything was fine. I have seen other forums with a solution that talks about importing a previously exported shortcut file, I don´t think i can do that if I never exported said file.

Also when I go to look at the shortcuts, none exist (except for align, which I registered manually), it´s as if they were all deleted (except for copy/paste, save, close app, etc.). Any idea how I can fix this? Or should register/input each shortcut individually?

Never seen this problem before, but as you have made changes to the shortcuts, you should be able to find its file, by navigating to:

%APPDATA%\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit 202x Release

Try first importing it through the Keyboard Schortcuts (KS) menu. If it doesn't work, delete the file and restart Revit. This should reset the keyboard settings.

Instead of "Local", choose "Roaming".
