Hi, I am new in Revit and XML. Can anyone help me, or point me where I can find information how to create new keyboard shortcut. It should be same as Detail Component shortcut, but to insert specific Detail Component. I suppose something needs to be changed/added in this code, but don't know what: <ShortcutItem Paths="Annotate>Detail; Create>Detail" Shortcuts="COM" CommandId="ID_OBJECTS_FAMDETAIL_a" CommandName="Detail Component; Detail Component"/> Name of component is _NE_Break Line 2 points

As I understand I would need to make new command that will look something like "Annotate>Detail>_NE_Break Line 2 points; Create>Detail>_NE_Break Line 2 points"

Thanks!

Keyboard shortcuts are found if you click the R button in the top left of Revit and then the options down the bottom of the window. Go to the User Interface Tab and click on the Keyboard Shortcuts button. Find your command and type in your shortcut using two letters. If the same two letters are assigned to another command already then a warning popup window will appear. Just take note of that command, go to it and change it to something else and then repeat your preferred command shortcut
