Hotkeys

Every binding below is a default. Change any of them in Settings › Remap Hotkeys…, which Hotkeys under Settings walks through; the menus and tooltips update to show what you chose. A few keys belong to one place and are not in this list: Del and Backspace on the reel timeline, and the arrow keys in the overlay template editor. With a clip selected on the reel timeline, Up and Down step the selection instead of jumping. See Select from the keyboard.
