Keyboard Customization
Choosing DaVinci Resolve > Keyboard Customization opens the standalone Keyboard
Customization window. This window lets you choose which set of keyboard shortcuts you want
to use, discover which keyboard shortcuts are available, or create your own custom keyboard
mappings that more closely adhere to the way you like to work, in whichever pages you find
yourself working.
The Keyboard Customization window
Choosing Keyboard Shortcut Emulation Presets
Using a drop-down at the top right of this menu, you can choose the default DaVinci Resolve
set or any one of the other sets that attempt to mimic other NLEs you might be more familiar
with. Please note that keyboard shortcuts can only be remapped to commands that functionally
exist within DaVinci Resolve, so if a specific feature of another NLE does not have an equivalent
in DaVinci Resolve, that key shortcut may not be mapped in the same way. Fortunately, the
editorial feature set of DaVinci Resolve broadly overlaps with common features in other NLEs,
so you should find that most features you’re used to have a functional equivalent.
You can choose one of the preset keyboard mappings to emulate another
NLE you’re familiar with or the default DaVinci Resolve keyboard mapping
You also have the ability to create your own custom sets of keyboard shortcuts. The Commands
list below shows a hierarchical list of commands organized by the menu they appear within. This
list lets you select individual commands to remap and can be searched if you’re having a hard
time finding what you’re looking for. This is described in more detail later in this section.
