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 shortcut 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.
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).
