Here is a great tip. IMHO. Select the Modify Panel. The Modify tool is a nice size icon on its own panel. Rip that panel right off the Ribbon and place it on the top left corner of your drawing area (or wherever you like. I like it there because that is the general area where i spend most of my mouse time picking icons.). This should help productivity if you use modify to end a command. Instead of trying to hit the tiny modify icon on the QAT or Right Click Cancel (2 clicks)...presto. John

This sounds amazing for lefties. If however you are right handed, here's a nifty trick: Step 1 - Hold mouse with right, do not let go!!!! Step 2 - Place left hand in very close proximity to ESC button Step 3 - Enter shortcuts / measurements with left hand Step 4 - repeat Step 2 Peace.

Classic! Yeah esc key works on my keyboard too... it's pretty shiny What is helpfull is by dragging out the edit tools, they become staic, there all the time. Hopefully the Revit boffins will also manage to get the icons to stay relatively static in the next update.

As I said in the original post, "This should help productivity if you use modify to end a command." For those users that use the escape key, this tip isn't helpful. Ending with the modify tool is how I (and I presume many users) learned the program. I've been experimenting with the escape key since. Happy Bimming to all.

Hey I use the escape key, but I found your tip usefull in other ways, I didn't realise you could reposition the toolbars like that. They are a godsend to be able to have selected tools available all the time, + they don't jump around. My wish is that I could lock into position or customise the various toolbars, if they weren't available, perhaps grey them out. I know this uses up more screen, but I often find myself double, triple clicking to use a command too often in Revit.
