The Keyboard panel lets you create your own
keybo ard shortcuts. You can assign shortcuts to
most commands available in the sof tware.
Thesameshortcutscanbeassignedtomultiple
commands, as long as they occur in different
contexts. For example, in Video Post,
Ct rl +S is
assigned to Add Scene Event; however, in the Main
UI, it is assigned to Save File.
When you u se a keyboard shortcut, the software
looks for a context-specific shortcut first, and
if none is found it looks for the appropriate
command in the Main UI shortcuts.
The Keyboard Shortcut Override toggle (page
3–872) must be tur ned on (the default) for the
context-specific shortcuts to work properly. If it is
turned off, only the Main UI keyboard shortcuts
will be available.
