Working without a mouse – Keystroke editing
Hi
I’ve had an operation on my hand to remove a ganglian – a deformed muscle on my tendon – from long long hours on edit systems like Media 100, and AE.
Anyway, I want to use FCP as a keystroke editor ALA avid without using a mouse (well actually I use a small graphics tablet now).
I’m doing ok but need some help finding a few buttons to do it right.
So far I use:
Apple 1 to get to the source window
Apple 2 to get to the record window
use JKL to position the playhead and I and O for in and out points.
F9 and F10 for insert/overwrite
apple J for speed
What I’m wanting to know is:
1. How do I lock the record and source windows? – whenever I press apple 1 twice say it disappears!
2. which button do I press to go to the bin and keys to select it into the source window?
3. Should I use an avid setup and get an avid keyboard?
Any enlightenment will be most welcome as well as other tips for shortcuts.
Thanks,
Jase. -

I have a keyboard with FCP keycaps with all the shortcut legends. I also found online a pdf with all the FCP keystrokes mapped. If you do a search I am sure you can find it. I also use the Shuttle Pro2, a usb device that plugs into the keyboard, which lets you program buttons and has a jog shuttle wheel
