About Final Cut Pro and its shortcuts

Final Cut Pro is Mac only and built around its magnetic timeline, so its shortcuts cover selecting and skimming, connecting and overwriting clips, and the trimming tools. Skimming in particular is something you drive from the keyboard rather than the mouse once you are used to it.

Final Cut has a command editor that lets you remap everything and import other sets, and Apple ships more commands than the default keyboard exposes. There is no Windows version, so nothing here has a Windows column.
