Is there a Shortcut to "Project Browser"?

Never tried, but I don't see why you couldn't create one. Options=>User Interface.  

 

...you know that it is also available under User Interface on the View Tab, right?

the OOTB shortcut to the Project Browser is "PB"

Interesting. PB brings up the MEP Fabrication Parts here --- which we don't use, so I'm thinking that was the OOTB for this install.  Still, you can always assign keyboard shortcuts to your own liking.

yep, you're right. I guess that I've had PB as the keyboard shortcut for so long that I just considered it OOTB. Was probably thinking of PP for the Properties Palette. Thanks for straightening me out :leicht_lächelndes_Gesicht:

Now the "truth be told". I wanted to know a shortcut to the "Project Browser" because I don't know the "long" path to it. I would like to turn it off so I can have a larger workspace on my screen, BUT, before I turn it off, I want to know how to turn it back on. I've perused through the many drop-downs, but haven't found how to turn "Project Browser" on when I need it. Every REVIT user I know never turns the Project Browser off, so, they can't tell me how to turn it on. 

Any Help Out There -KLYPH

Look under User Interface on the View Tab.

Most obvious shortfall which Revit refuses to acknowledge: navigating a project sheet set. They tuck their browsers well hidden under other VIEW/USER INTERFACE menus so it's a 12 step program just to open a drawing sheet. bassackward as ever.

What a 12-step are you talking about?  It's like a 2-step if I use the Ribbon: View > User Interface dropdown;  or a 1-step because I added CTRL+2 as a keyboard shortcut to open/close Project Browser.

I do the same. I go to KS (Keyboard Shortcuts) and add CTRL-2 to turn On/Off the Project Browser. Useful when working on my laptop with only 1 screen and I want more space.

KS is a great idea thanks everyone -- it's like using an accelerator switch on your steering wheel because the car manufacturer decided to put the gas pedal on the outside of the vehicle. Appreciate the trick - Like CAD, most toolbars become useless once you set up the Command Alias, but at least CAD had the intuitive new user in mind by putting essential tools on the dash.

Based on what you have posted, especially the recent finding about KS, it's more like the gas pedal is exactly where it should be, but the driver can't find it because he used to ride a donkey. 

Revit has plenty of shortcomings, but an User Interface item in the User Interface menu is not one of them.

At least the donkey got us there within project budget. Revit wizards in every office are burning fees trouble-shooting this 'user-friendly' platform and it's usually the pro-revit users who have no clue of document graphic quality and fees.

- And the reason for you to be moving on from riding a donkey to driving a car is? 

- Pro-Revit users having no clue of document graphic quality and fee:  a speculation.

- A Revit user who having troubles navigating a basic user interface, while exaggerating a 2-step workflow to a 12-step nightmare and complaining about it: the fact.

Let us not judge.

 

12 steps is adapted from the original 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous used for general use by many addictive or dysfunctional personalities.  

 

Peace be with you, brother.

@barthbradly -12 step is my bad - was not consciously referencing the AAA - respect and thanks

@ToanDN - unfortunately I am very familiar with the impact on fees, there is no speculation whatsoever - as an older dog who's been around pre-CAD, managing projects and fees through all iterations of drafting tools, I've heard the increase of excuses as to why deliverables aren't meeting targets and how, regardless of the software troubleshooting, the graphics are at their poorest. It's the problem of a massively front-heavy software with endless tweaking where BIM manager regularly need excessive more hours than CAD days-- especially for architects who build the complete model (and less so for engineers who 'borrow' our model). The inefficiency and poor economy of Revit apporach is another blog topic altogether and hopefully the UK makes some headway with AutoDesk in their struggles.

I don't know, whether the problem still persists. 

 

I just found out that CTRL + 1 is a short cut to toggle the properties window. 

So I assigned CTRL+2 to toggle the project browser, which works well for me. 

 

You can assign new keyboard shortcuts under View => UI => Keyboard Shortcuts. 

 

Regards from Germany and all the best.
