Chapter 16: Keyboard shortcuts

Many commands and buttons have keyboard shortcut equivalents, so you can complete tasks with minimal use of
the mouse. You can also create or edit keyboard shortcuts. The default shortcut set is called Adobe Premiere Pro
Factory Defaults.

Finding and customizing keyboard shortcuts

Find keyboard shortcuts
❖
Find the keyboard shortcuts for a tool, button, or menu command by doing any of the following:
• For a tool or button, hold the pointer over the tool or button until its tool tip appears. If available, the keyboard
shortcut appears in the tool tip after the tool description.
• For menu commands, look for the keyboard shortcut at the right of the command.
•
For the most-used keyboard shortcuts not shown in tool tips or on menus, see the Shortcut tables in this chapter.
For a complete list of default shortcuts, choose Edit > Keyboard Customization. The Keyboard Customization
dialog box is also a good place to look if you suspect that shortcuts might have been changed (customized) by a user.
Customize keyboard shortcuts
In addition to using the standard set of keyboard shortcuts, you can assign your own custom shortcuts to nearly any
menu command, button, or tool. By customizing shortcuts, you can assign shortcuts to commands that don't
currently have shortcuts, reassign shortcuts from commands you rarely use to commands you use often, or set
shortcuts to match other software you use. If other sets are available, you can choose them from the Set pop-up
menu in the Keyboard Customization dialog box. You can save different sets of shortcuts and restore the default
settings.
Choose Edit > Keyboard Customization.
