Zoom to Feature hotkey in ArcMap Table View

There are preset shortcuts, but I don't now how to change them. For Zoom To Selected Feature, the hotkey is [CTRL] + [SHIFT] + [=]

Read the ArcGIS Help @ Keyboard shortcuts for working with tables, for other keyboard shortcuts.


Ctrl-Enter will take you to the next line and select it. Using Ctrl-N or Ctrl-Shift-= will zoom to the selected row. Not too bad.

  • “NEXT” shortcut - Attribute Table

However, you have to activate the attribute table panel by clicking somewhere inside it if you have been navigating around the map as you will lose the focus.

You can customize the shortcuts using the Customize window.

There is no single command for jumping to the next record and zooming to it. You can of course create an own Python add-in or a button tool and assign it an own shortcut. You would need to access the layer programmatically, find out the next row, select it and do zooming.


You can double click a record to zoom to

or you can

Use AutoHotKey to write a small script

for example:

`::^+=

pressing the "`" key would give you [CTRL] + [SHIFT] + [=] For Zoom To Selected Feature

`::^n

pressing the "`" key would give you [CTRL] + [p] For Pan To Selected Feature

What I commonly use:

This script is Content Aware so that the script runs only when the ArcMap window is open. It moves one record down in the table then pan's to that location.
