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.

- In Windows, choose Edit > Keyboard Customization
- In Mac OS (Adobe Premiere Pro CS5), choose Edit > Keyboard Customization

(Optional) From the Set menu in the Keyboard Customization dialog box, choose the set of keyboard shortcuts you want to use in Premiere Pro:
- Adobe Premiere Pro Factory Defaults (Adobe Premiere Pro CS5)
- Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 (Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5)
- Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (Adobe Premiere Pro CS6)
- Avid Xpress DV 3.5 (Adobe Premiere Pro CS5)

-
In the Keyboard Customization dialog box, choose an option from the menu:

Panels
Displays commands associated with panels and menus.
Tools
Displays a list of tool icons.
-
In the Command column, view the command for which you want to create or change a shortcut. If necessary, click the triangle next to the name of a category to reveal the commands it includes.
-
Click in the item’s shortcut field to select it.
-
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.
-
Do one of the following:
- To erase a shortcut and return it to the command that originally had it, 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 reenter the shortcut you typed previously, click Redo.
-
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.
Note: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.

Print keyboard shortcuts
Many editors like to have a keyboard shortcuts document they can search and refer to. Premiere Pro offers a way to copy and paste keyboard shortcuts into a document, and then print. There are also pages in Help documentation that you can print, or save as a PDF.
Whether you are copy and pasting into a document, printing a PDF, or inspecting the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box, it is important to note the available commands that are mappable to the keyboard. You can engage in a much more keyboard driven workflow by adding new keyboard shortcuts.
Print a spreadsheet of the keyboard shortcuts
You can paste the lists of keyboard shortcuts from the Keyboard Customization dialog box into a text document, like a spreadsheet, from which you can print. The advantage of the copy and pasting method is that you can view your customized keyboard shortcuts, as well. If you select Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer, or Custom keyboard shortcuts, then those keyboard shortcuts are the ones that are printed.
