Chapter 19: Keyboard shortcuts

To modify keyboard shortcuts, use the KeyEd Up script from Jeff Almasol, which is available on the
Effects Exchange website.
Sebastien Perier provides instructions on
script with a single keystroke. This technique relies on the KeyEd Up script.
For information on remapping keyboard shortcuts for keyboard layouts other than the standard US English layout,
see Jonas Hummelstrand's
Note: On Mac OS, some keyboard commands for interacting with the operating system conflict with keyboard commands
for interacting with After Effects. Select Use System Shortcut Keys in the General preferences to override the After Effects
keyboard command in some cases in which there's a conflict with the Mac OS keyboard command.
