better implementation of View Range keyboard shortcut and current View Template

better implementation of View Range keyboard shortcut and current View Template

Be able to assign keyboard shortcuts to "buttons" in Properties Panel:

 

The ability to assign a keyboard shortcut to View Range is a welcome addition to 2017. However, the implementation is not quite all that it could be: if you have a Plan Region selected, the VR shorctut will bring up the main View Range (of the View, not the Plan Region), and if you select a View on a Sheet, the VR shortcut does nothing at all! Instead, the shortcut should bring up the View Range for whatever is selected (if applicable), or for the current view if nothing's selected.

A somewhat-related improvement would allow for the addition of a keyboard shortcut to bring up the View Template dialog for the active view's template (if any), similar to the behavior for clicking on the button in the Properties Panel.

Keyboard shortcuts should work as a replacement for the graphical tool/button in ALL situations (not just some, with obscure rules for when it will work). Until then, we will continue to use VR for View Reference instead (which is used more often anyway).

Thanks for taking the time to submit your idea. Unfortunately, this idea did not get the support of the community over the last 6 months and as such we will not be pursuing it at this time. Please feel free to rework (titles and clear descriptions are really important) and resubmit this one down the road.

Why exactly was this suggestion not supported by the community? These shortcut suggestions would make a huge impact on efficiency and doesn't seem like it would take a lot to implement.
