Agree that the convenience of having a keynoting workflow built into Revit as an out-of-the-box feature would be nice to have, given the price tag for (what used to be licenses) subscription costs for the app itself. Then again, my perspective is from an Architect who happens to desire the best digital tools at my disposal. From the perspective of small business owners like Steve Faust (creator of Keynote Manager) it was a great business opportunity to fill a market gap. Plus, I think he's an Architect himself so he was going about coding thinking as such.

 

The boss issue, in my opinion, is a personality/cultural issue and not technical, in nature. You mention reluctance to propose solutions based on a preconceived, negative backlash from a superior who may have limited capability or competence to invest in employees and the technology they depend on. With my limited knowledge and brain, I don't know whether it's you more you being shy or an authority figure who's created a culture where new ideas and disruptions are encouraged vs discouraged.

 

Agree that KM+ does not affect directly or indirectly the keynote legend. Keynote legends are odd beings in and of themselves. Better to think about those as a scheduling entity and attack it the limited way that allows. Just checked my keynote legend sitting here and I'm reminded that you are stuck with two parameters: Key Value, and Keynote Text. So that's that.

 

On searching functions in KM+, those are there. Along with a ton of other user interface perks that blow a .txt file out of the water. Gonna try to upload a screen snippet here of what I see. Hope this works:

Notice it's a dock that can sit off to the side on another monitor. And all those buttons you see do different things. It's also drag and drop with any keynote anywhere. Pretty clean, all things considered. It has allowed me to continue to develop a firm-wide keynote database that constantly grows because every project is plugged into the same keynote database (KM Keynote "project" in its terms) so when people add new stuff, it's sitting there for future people to use in future projects. Rinse. Repeat. Waste less lives.
