Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 167)

• If the key combination is already used by another command: In this case, a message
appears asking if you want to reassign it. Click Yes. The keyboard shortcut you entered
now appears next to the command in the list. The icon for that command also appears
on the appropriate key.
Note: If the command already has a shortcut assigned to it, you can delete the existing
one. If you don’t, the command will have two keyboard shortcuts assigned to it.
7 When you’re finished assigning new key combinations, do one of the following to prevent
further changes:
• Click the Lock button.
• Close the Keyboard Layout window.
Note: Customized keyboard layouts are automatically saved when you close the Keyboard
Layout window.
If you like, you can reassign commands to keys in the Keyboard Layout window. However,
you cannot move commands between modifier keys (tabs). If you make mistakes as you
set up commands, or simply want to clear the command for one or two keys, see
“Clearing
and Restoring Keyboard Layouts.”
To quickly reassign the keyboard shortcuts for a command
1 Choose Tools > Keyboard Layout > Customize.
The Keyboard Layout window appears.
2 In the keyboard area, drag the icon for a command from the current key to the new key.
If you drag an icon to a key that already has a command assigned to it, the new command
takes precedence and the previous command no longer has a keyboard shortcut assigned
to it.
You can also delete the keyboard shortcut for a command in the Keyboard Layout window.
This is useful if you only want to delete keyboard shortcuts for individual commands and
not the entire keyboard layout.
To delete the keyboard shortcut for a command
1 Choose Tools > Keyboard Layout > Customize.
The Keyboard Layout window appears.
2 In the keyboard area, drag the icon for a command out of the Keyboard Layout window.
For more information on clearing all keyboard shortcuts, see “Clearing and Restoring
Keyboard Layouts.”
