Hi, I am using a gdb with a vast amount of features for digitising. There are certain polylines points and polygons I use more often than others. Is there any way I can have a shortcut to these features on my keyboard. For example,  I have a building point and a shed point, is it possible to click B on my keyboard for building or S on my keyboard for shed? I find it a slow process continually selecting these features manually by mouse. Is there some type of keypad available to select features by button instead of scrolling and clicking? The only work around I have found so far is to use autohotkey and record the absolute coordinate of the feature I want to select and map this to a button on my keyboard. It has its pros and cons but ultimately not ideal. I use several shortcuts to speed up the editing process but I'm looking to improve efficiency in data capture.  arcmap 10.2

Many thanks

You need to create Subtypes.

Create subtypes and attribute domains
