Using keyboard shortcuts
Because many commands and buttons have keyboard equivalents, you can edit a video
program with minimal use of the mouse. You can also create or edit keyboard shortcuts.
Using the default keyboard shortcuts
Adobe Premiere Pro provides a set of keyboard shortcuts. You can view and modify them
by using the Edit > Keyboard Customization command; see “Customizing keyboard
shortcuts” on page 56. In the Keyboard Customization dialog box, the default shortcut set
is called Adobe Premiere Pro Factory Defaults. A full list of the factory default keyboard
shortcuts is available in the Keyboard Shortcuts Appendix.
To find the keyboard shortcut for a tool, button, or menu command:
Do one of the following:

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.

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
