The Keybo ard panel lets you create your own
keybo ard shortcuts. You c an assign shortcuts to
most commands available in the software.

commands, as long as they occur in differen t
contexts. For example, in Video Post, CTR L+S is
assigned to Add Scene Event; however, in the Main
UI, it is assigned to Save File.
When you use 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
3–912)
must be turned on (t he default) for the
context-specific shortcuts to work properly. If it is
turned off, only the Main UI keybo ard shortcuts
will be available.
