Looks to me as if the Card Wipe effect would do it:

If not, take a look at the Card Dance effect, which will give you control over the cards using a Gradient layer. Neither of them is “automatic”, but it’s a lot less work than doing it manually.

One more thing to try:

If you can get your NumLock working, then part of the keyboard should then be mapped to get you the Zero which would RAM preview. It will take a bit of experimentation, but it should be there.

You might try the ALT-M combination – on many laptops, the M key is an alternate mapping for the Keypad Zero key. As a matter of fact, on my Thinkpad W510, the Zero is actually printed on the bottom area of the M key. It’s worth a try. There should also be Fn (Function) key combinations which would give you the keypad keys, but you’ll have to check with the manufacturer’s help for that.

I would suggest getting the repair done by the manufacturer:

Yes, there are ways to check. You need to know your Adobe ID to login, though:

You might want to take a look at the CVKC (controlled vocabulary keyword catalog) which is available for free to install into Bridge:

While I think it’s overkill to install it, studying the structure of it is a whole other useful idea. It will give you a way to structure your hierarchical keywords in a way which will make it easier to search for assets.

One of the biggest updates for me in Bridge was not too long ago: it established Bridge as its’ own external installer, so that facilities which might need file management capabilities (or browsing) could install Bridge separately from the rest of the suite. I have a separate workstation on which I do my Adobe suite work, but my desktop machine has a separate install of Bridge so that when I need a file to send to a client, I can browse for it independently of the suite install. Works great!
I don’t think Bridge is going anywhere anytime soon, but what do I know? Just a guess…
The metadata which you see in Bridge is XMP, an ISO standard for metadata, so I would assume that it’s viewable in any software which will access metadata. Here’s way more info than you probably want to know, but I find it useful:

It also looks as if CatDV plays well with XMP metadata:

Premiere Pro has what is called a Project Manager – if you’ve ever use After Effects’ Collect Files, you’ll know what I’m talking about. But the PPro Project Manager has a bit more under the hood:

After reading through the options with Project Manager, you may want to rethink the last paragraph in your post.

Since version CS4.0, Premiere Pro has included Adobe Bridge. I guess you must have a very old version of PPRo:
