Custom Keyboard Shortcut Question
Folks, coming from the Avid world I am use to being able to assign a single command to multiple keyboard shortcuts. For example, I like to assign the Zoom In function to both “Command +” & “Shift C.” This way no matter which side of the keyboard my hand is on at the time I can use the most convenient of the two keyboard shortcut options. Will Premiere CS6 allow me to assign single commands to multiple shortcuts? I cannot for the life of me get it this to work from within the keyboard shortcuts dialogue box.
Thanks Fellow Bovines,

The best way to zoom in and out in Premiere is holding ALT and using the mouse scroll.
But you can try changing the keyboard design to AVID or FCP on the top of the keyboard menu, there is a pro up menu that will give you that option.Axel Arzola

Thank you. But that was not the question. I am trying to assign a single command to multiple keyboard shortcuts. This way I have multiple options on the keyboard for common tasks. For example I would like to have “Set In & Set Out” on multiple keyboard buttons. And “Zoom In Zoom Out” on multiple keyboard buttons. Common trim options and interface settings are tasks that I often assign to multiple keyboard button combinations.
From what I can tell, Premiere CS6 only allows you to assign a command to one shortcut option. Pulling Avid and FCP pre-assigned layouts is not needed for me because, if you can’t tell, I have a heavily customized workflow and every non-linear I’ve ever worked with in the past allows for me do achieve this desired result of assigning a single command to multiple places on the keyboard.
At this point I believe it is a software limitation.
