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 Adobe Premiere Pro Factory Defaults.

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 chapter. 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). See Customize or load keyboard shortcuts.

In Premiere Pro CS5.5, there is a search field in the Keyboard Customization dialog box to find specific commands quickly.
