Showing Which Panel Has Focus
Whenever you use one of the above keyboard shortcuts, or click somewhere on the
DaVinci Resolve interface using the pointer, you give a specific panel of the user interface
focus.” A panel with focus will capture specific keyboard shortcuts to do something within that
panel, as opposed to doing something elsewhere in the interface. A highlight appears at the top
edge to show you which panel has focus so that you can keep track of which part of the current
page is taking precedence, and you can switch focus as necessary to do what you need to do.
