A guy named, David Harrington, posted this on the AUGI forum. I found it to be very easy to use and helpful. Here is the original link... http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=100549 Here is David's Directions on how to use the excel sheet I have attached. Please find attached an Excel spreadsheet I am using for development of RAC 2010 Keyboard Shortcuts. As many have discovered, many commands are repeated over and over as they exist on different ribbon menus. As such, developing a workable list is difficult since duplicate commands can easily get different key assignments as one moves about in a text file with over 1,400 lines.Within this XLS - the blue area is what one copies to a true TXT file. The green area is where one customizes to their own desires. The orange area contains a list of ribbon entries but without the duplication. To the right of the green area is the out-of-the-box shortcuts.Again - you only edit in the green, no where else.For any given row, the XLS will use the OOTB entry until a custom one is created. As custom entries are made, they are checked against the entire list for duplicate keycuts. If a duplicate is found above, it then checks against the ribbon placement. If the ribbon is the same, the new keycut is left as is. If the ribbon is different, the keycut is made red.In a nutshell (I may have confused you more just then), you start out with OOTB keycuts. You find a command you want to customize and do so. Soon as you do that, all matching commands below get that same customization (superceding their own line OOTB entry). And if you use the duplicate removed column for commands, you never will have to "look" at already adjusted commands.Another 'perk' of this is the blue column will start by showing the uppermost OOTB keycut. Even if Autodesk called a lower placed ribbon by a different keycut, it will use the uppermost - thus disabling the practice of 2 different keycuts for the same command.I have placed a couple sample conditions in the custom column to show this functionality. The big thing here is, green is good, red is bad. Now I will say there are some commands that are duplicated in ribbon form but with different ribbon strings - so in some cases red can be right (same command but different ribbon strings). Sigh...not sure what else I can do about that. When you find red cells, investigate and perhaps override if needed.Comments are welcome. I have started a new thread for this to 1) restrict topic to the XLS and 2) to keep track when future RAC versions are released. Hope This helps, Ball

Sorry, did you say easy?? Ouch, that paragraph of text needs some serious formatting. Tried to read but kept going cross eyed. The link was a little easier on the eyes. I think I will just keep editing the keybooardshortcuts.txt file with notepad. BTW, If you can't seem to create paragraphs in this forum try using a different web browser. My 'Avant Browser' won't let me create paragraphs.

Sorry, DG. I will admit the copied text is hard to read. It was correct whenever I copied it in.
