Switching Tabs in FCP.
In a pod cast that Martin Baker did on Digital-Heaven, he said that in FCP 5.1.2 and later you can now switch between tabs using keyboard shortcut Shift Command Right or Left Square Bracket.
I can’t seem to get this to work.
First of all when you hit Shift it changes the Square bracket [ to Wavey Bracket {.
Either way It doesn’t seem to work. Any Ideas.
I was really excited to hear this was now an available feature, but upset when it didn’t work.
Thanks;

“shift command(apple) [” or “shift command(apple) ]” works for me to change tabs on active window.

I had the same issue when I upgraded from v5.1.1 to v5.1.2, which might be the reason in your case too.
If you haven’t remapped your keyboard layout:
– Choose Tools > Keyboard Layout > Customize
– Unlock the keyboard layout
– Click the Reset button
– The next/previous tab shortcuts should show up on the correct keysIf you have remapped your keyboard layout:
– Choose Tools > Keyboard Layout > Customize
– Unlock the keyboard layout
– Enter “tab” in the command search field
– Drag “Select Previous Tab” and “Select Next Tab” to the desired key combinationsMartin

Thanks for the input.
That did it. It works perfectly now.
I had my keyboard modified, but the others in the company that weren’t modified didn’t work either so I rest those and they work fine now too.
Thanks again.
I know it’s trivial, but that may be my favorite feature.
I just have to remember to use it now.

I’m still running 5.04, is this why this solution will not work for me?

Yes. It was new in 5.1.2
