Bluebeam Tip: Customizing Keyboard Shortcuts for Enhanced Efficiency in Bluebeam Revu

Enhance your efficiency in Bluebeam Revu by setting up custom keyboard shortcuts. Personalizing these shortcuts allows for quicker access to the tools and commands you use most frequently.

To create custom keyboard shortcuts in Bluebeam Revu:

  1. Open Bluebeam Revu and go to the Revu menu.
  2. Select Keyboard Shortcuts from the dropdown options.
  3. In the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box, you'll see a list of commands and their assigned shortcuts.
  4. To modify an existing shortcut:
    • Click on the shortcut you want to change.
    • Press the new key combination you'd like to assign.
    • If the combination is already in use, a warning will appear. Choose whether to replace it or select a different combination.
  5. To assign a shortcut to a command without one:
    • Find the command in the list.
    • Click in the empty shortcut field next to it.
    • Press your desired key combination.

Consider these tips when setting up your shortcuts:

  • Keep it intuitive: Use key combinations that make sense to you for easy recall.
  • Avoid conflicts: Be cautious not to overwrite essential default shortcuts unless necessary.
  • Consistency: If you use other software, consider using similar shortcuts for common actions.

Custom keyboard shortcuts can significantly speed up your workflow by reducing the time spent navigating through menus. This small investment in setup time can lead to substantial productivity gains in your daily tasks.
