Press the combination of keys you want to use for the command (for example, Shift-Option-T, or
any other keys).
Note: Keys on the Command Editor virtual keyboard that are shaded with diagonal lines are
reserved for system use and cannot be assigned.
If the key combination is not already assigned to a command, the virtual keyboard updates to
show the new key assignment. A gray dot appears on a newly assigned key (or keys), and a color
is applied if the command belongs to a color-coded Command group.
If the key combination is already assigned to a command, Final Cut Pro displays the current
setting, and prompts you to confirm the change.
