Why have they changed the shortcut for timeline?

[Mark Morache]

You can’t make it too easy to totally shift paradigms, can you?

Since I don’t imagine they will either change it back or explain why they changed it the question becomes do you retrain your fingers, or customize the keyboard to reflect what your fingers already know?

I made it a point to not change keyboard shortcuts in FCP7 but try to retrain my fingers, because they had shortcuts already assigned for most everything.

Since there are so many functions that aren’t mapped yet in FCX, it precludes that everyone will have some sort of customization. I’m still leaning towards keeping the ones that are already mapped.

I may break that rule for cmd-I since I’ve been startled by my ugly mug on the built in camera more than once.

I find it amusing to think that on our Xpri system at work, I’m still using several Avid shortcuts I customized 8 years ago, which was about the last time I edited in Avid.
