There is no shortcut for 'Section Box',

 

but 'Selection Box' is set to BX

But then you would still have to manually untick the section box to turn off the selection box.

There isn't even an option to create a keyboard shortcut for Section Box.

I wouldn't use the shortcut even if it existed.  Section Box doesn't "remember" its configuration.  Turn it off and on and the Section Box goes back to its default extents. 

 

FWIW.

I get what you are saying but the workflow I am using right now uses scope boxes primarily to organize various building models within the revit file. The scope box around the model is selected and then the "selection box" tool is used to instantly create a custom section box. 

 

The only way to get out of the "selection box" is to uncheck the "section box". The shortcut is missing.

Alan, I agree.  It would be nice to have.  Can speed up flow when modeling in a 3D environment.  Perhaps some day Autodesk will add it to it's available key stroke commands.  --CF
