Apple Final Cut Pro HD (4.5): New Features - Manual (Page 15)

Preface New Features in Final Cut Pro HD 15
Interface Enhancements
Customizable keyboard shortcuts
All commands in Final Cut Pro can be assigned to customizable keyboard shortcuts
using the Keyboard Layout window by choosing Tools > Keyboard Layout > Customize.
The default keyboard shortcut layout can be changed at any time to better suit your
needs. For example, if your style of editing requires a particular set of commands that
isn’t readily available by default, you can modify the default keyboard layout with your
own set of commands.
You can also create different keyboard layouts for different tasks, switching between
them at will. For example, you may find it useful to create different keyboard layouts for
editing, color correction, and audio mixing.
Keyboard shortcut for Deselect All has changed
The default keyboard shortcut for Deselect All is now Shift-Command-A (not
Command-D).
Keyboard shortcuts for Play Every Frame command
In the Viewer and Canvas, you can choose to play every frame of a clip. To do this using
keyboard shortcuts, press Option-\ or Option-P.
Using keyboard shortcuts to zoom in and out of the Timeline
Pressing Option-+ (plus) or Option-– (minus) zooms in or out of the contents of the
Timeline, as long as the Browser is not the active window.
Customizable button bars in each window
Shortcut buttons can be created and placed along the top of the main windows in
Final Cut Pro—the Browser, Viewer, Canvas, Timeline, and any Tool Bench windows. You
can then click any of the shortcut buttons in this button bar to perform commands,
instead of entering key combinations or using menus.
Resize multiple Final Cut Pro windows simultaneously
You can now place the pointer at the intersection of two or more windows in Final Cut Pro
and resize all of them simultaneously when the Resize Window pointer appears.
To resize multiple windows in Final Cut Pro, move the pointer over the border between
the windows you want to resize. When the pointer changes to the Resize Window
pointer, drag the border in the desired direction to resize the appropriate windows. The
windows on either side of the border are resized accordingly.
