How to input attribute data quickly in ArcGIS?

Question

Hello! Such situation: In ArcMap I select a polygon (in edit mode) and press the number keys from 0 to 9 on the keyboard an appropriate value recorded in the attribute table of selected polygons in a specified field..Is it possible to set hotkeys in ArcMap for this case? Is there any other ways to solve this problem?

One more workaround is to create a table (Code_Lookup_Table) with the codes (0-9) and their description. While editing the features, input just the numbers. Once done, JOIN the Attribute table of the layer with the Code_Lookup_Table.

Thank's for yuor answer. Adam! But this is not what I need! I do not work with the parcel fabric data! Everything is much easier! I have a layer "Build" with the field "Level_final" (long integer). In editing process I input value from 0 to 9 and for the convenience and speed I need "hot keys" that would be implemented next step: when typed on the keyboard any keys from 0 to 9 the same value prescribed in the field "Level_final". I can do it in window with feature attributes, but it is slower. I have a tool that performs that function for MapInfo and it is made in the form of hot keys. But since I work more in the ArcMap and wont have such "hotkeys" in ArcMap

Hi Andriy - Is this the functionality you're looking for? This specific tool is part of the parcel editor toolbar and only works on a parcel fabric. If this is what you're looking for perhaps it will help lead you to a non-parcel fabric tool that works the same way.
