Trigger Revit Keyboard Shortcuts Using Dynamo

Is there a way to trigger Revit keyboard shortcuts with Dynamo?

Doesn’t look like it:

You can probably send a shortcut using Python to the keyboard, but Dynamo will prevent it doing anything unless you can stop/start the graph using something like a form I’d say.

Hello Gavin,

Thank you for the reply.

What commands are you looking to trigger? Sometimes certain ones can be fired from the API

The orkesta addin have hotkeys.
It’s some like shortcuts, same does the nonica add in

I’m trying to automate Copy/Monitor (grids/levels) process. Create Dynamo script and when you play it, it asks you to select a model, once a model is selected, it copies/monitors levels / grids and pins them. I’ve been told that Postable Commands is a dead end, so trying an option with keyboard shortcuts.

Ah, I understand now. Yeah, unfortunately, I think the copy/monitor workflow is going to be a dead-end all around.
