Many commands 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 Premiere Pro CS5.5.
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 tables in this article. For a complete list of default and
current shortcuts, choose Edit > Keyboard Customization. (Windows), (Mac OS in CS5) or Premiere Pro > Keyboard Shortcuts (Mac OS)
In CS5.5 and later, use the search field in the Keyboard Customization dialog box to find specific commands quickly.

shortcuts, and to move custom keyboard shortcuts to a different system, see
this video by Kevin Monahan and Karl Soule on AdobeTV.
Customize or load keyboard shortcuts
You can set shortcuts to match shortcuts in other software you use. If other sets are available, you can choose them from the Set menu in the
Keyboard Customization dialog box.
1. Click in the item’s shortcut field to select it, and then click the Edit button. You can also double click the shortcut directly to select it.
2. Type the shortcut you want to use for the item. The Keyboard Customization dialog box displays an alert if the shortcut you choose is
already in use.
3. Do one of the following:
To erase a shortcut and return it to the command that it originally had, click Undo.
To jump to the command that previously had the shortcut, click Go To.
To simply delete the shortcut you typed, click Clear.
To re-enter the shortcut you typed previously, click Redo.
4. Repeat the procedure to enter as many shortcuts as you want. When you’re finished, click Save As, type a name for your Key Set, and click
Save.
The operating system reserves some commands. You cannot reassign those commands to Premiere Pro. Also, you cannot assign
the plus (+) and minus (-) keys on the numeric keypad because they are necessary for entering relative timecode values. You can assign the
minus (–) key on the main keyboard, however.
