Save yourself some time and energy by printing out your own custom Premiere Pro keyboard shortcuts.
If you're serious about getting fast at video editing and becoming a Premiere Pro master, then learning as many Premiere Pro keyboard shortcuts as you can is an essential task. Some shortcuts are easy to learn as you end up using them all the time, but extending your knowledge a little further can sometimes be a bit more difficult, especially if you've customised your keyboard shortcuts quite heavily.
Thankfully it's easy to print out a list of your shortcuts, customised or not, from the Premiere Pro interface.
Open up the keyboard shortcut window via Premiere Pro CC > Keyboard Shortcuts or by pressing ALT+H.
Make sure your custom keyboard preset is selected from the drop down menu. Here you can see the heritage of my own keyboard shortcuts…
Simply press ‘Copy To Clipboard' and all of your keyboard shortcuts are copied to the operating system's clipboard for pasting into another application like spreadsheet or a word processing document. But just be warned, if you print out all of the shortcuts it will take up 18 pages or so!

You can set shortcuts to match shortcuts in other software you use. If other sets are available, you can choose them from the Set menu in the Keyboard Customization dialog box.
Adobe Premiere Pro Keyboard Shortcuts Mac Keyboard
For customizing keyboard shortcuts, choose one of the following:
- In Windows, choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts
- In Mac OS, choose Premiere Elements > Keyboard Shortcuts
In the Keyboard Customization dialog box, choose an option from the menu:
Displays commands found in the menu bar, organized by category.
Displays commands associated with panels and menus.
Displays a list of tool icons.
In the Command column, view the command for which you want to create or change a shortcut. If necessary, click the triangle next to the name of a category to reveal the commands it includes.
Type the shortcut you want to use for the item. The Keyboard Customization dialog box displays an alert if the shortcut you choose is already in use.
- To erase a shortcut and return it to the command that originally had it, click Undo.
- To jump to the command that previously had the shortcut, click Go To.
- To simply delete the shortcut you typed, click Clear.
- To re-enter the shortcut you typed previously, click Redo.
Repeat the procedure to enter as many shortcuts as you want. When you're finished, click Save As, type a name for your Key Set, and click Save.
Note:
The operating system reserves some commands. You cannot reassign those commands to Premiere Elements. Also, you cannot assign the plus (+) and minus (-) keys on the numeric keypad because they are necessary for entering relative timecode values. You can assign the minus (–) key on the main keyboard, however.
