Customize menu > Customize User Interface > Keyboard panel
The Keyboard panel lets you create your own keyboard shortcuts. You can assign shortcuts to most commands available in the software.
The same shortcuts can be assigned to multiple commands, as long as they occur in different contexts of the software. For example, in Track View, CTRL+C is assigned to Copy Controller; however, in the Main UI, it is assigned to Match Camera to View.
Note: The Keyboard Shortcut Override Toggle must be turned on (the default) for the context-specific shortcuts to work properly. If it is turned off, only the Main UI keyboard shortcuts will be available.
