you have to manualy add the shortcut to the KeyboardShortcuts.txt file in 2009 then you have to exit Revit (if open) and restart Revit for it to take effect.

The new feature in 2011 and 12 make the custom quick keys much more user friendly

 

I hope this helps

why would you hate it. in 2009 it was to you what 2011 is today. i guess you better stay away from 2012 then.

reread my post...

You missed my intent.....I said I hated 2009 after using 2011. I started on 2011 Arch struc and MEP moved to a new firm and they are only on 09. 2009 has a Different interface and missing options that are in 2011. pain in the....so I don't like it.

I find this interesting. 

 

tmassey: you are the first person I have seen on any site that hates 2009.  I defently understand why since you started on 2011 but when Revit switched UI to the Ribbons in 2010 the amount of frustration from Revit users was and in some cases still is a huge debait.

 

But I guess it only makes sense you are accustom to what you first learn and a change large or small can be a huge hurlde to overcome in either direction.

 

I personaly hate the Ribbons but I am now past that debait and I have customized my shortcut keys to the max so that I only touch the Ribbons as little as possible.  The 2009 UI was more user friendly IMO but the new tools of the newer releases are sweet too.  Now only if they can make Revit run faster, I spend more time waiting on Revit than I do using Revit.  Drives me nuts.

sorry, now i get it and feel your pain. i guess this move was out of your hands. i was wonering why you would hate something you moved on from. i guess Revit truely does not have backward compatability. Smile
